Hi, Günter, and thanks for the reply. I appreciate your thoughts, even as a Saxon :D , and especially the Sun-Tzu quote about know the enemy (and, of course, know yourself)! I am indeed thinking of the period of the Befreiungskriege from 1813-1815. As to the size of the battalions, I am perfectly ha...
I was just wondering what the basing convention is for those doing Prussians. I am thinking of doing my battalions at either 32 or 40. Personally, I like to retain the company as the unit for each base -- this goes back to the early 70s playing a 1:20 set of rules entitled Column, Line, and Square -...
Günter, Thanks for the link to Steve Barber. I actually like the miniatures but, if I am right, they are one of the companies with one of the small errors I mentioned. In particular, if is my understanding that Westphalian line fusiliers only wore a single belt over the left shoulder for the cartrid...
Will these be a one off offering or the beginning of a larger Saxon range? Great news either way. I just wish someone would do a good set of Westphalians in 28mm (some of the nice ones out there have little errors...).

But I still have a couple of questions, more of a game mechanics nature, regarding the allotment of MPs; to wit, if the cavalry and artillery are under the Brigade (i...
While trolling the forum, I have seen several references to the Russian priests but have not found rules either on the forum or in RtE so I assume that there were scenario specific... I imagine for Borodino. I wonder if someone could post the rules for these apparently infamous clergy? Thanks, Mike
Thanks for the replies! I have a couple of points of clarification but will wait for your response and will check out Befreiungskrieg blog. I think my questions relate more to game mechanics than anything else.
With the advent of the new Perry Prussians to supplement the lovely Calpe range I have been toying with the idea of doing a Prussian Brigade. I reviewed the Prussian Command rules (p. 30) in RtE and have a couple of questions for those of you who are veteran players both of the Prussians and RtE in ...
I would suggest looking at George Satterfield's Princes, Posts and Partisans: The Army of Louis XIV and Partisan Warfare in the Netherlands 1673-1678 (Brill, 2003). I know it is a bit early for your request, but you might find it helpful anyway. Unfortunately, as a Brill publication it is vastly ove...
