Hello Ray, I thought I ought to clear up some apparent confusion about Freiwillige Jager for you. Many (but not all) regiments of infantry and cavalry had such volunteer detachments and, as mentioned earlier in the thread, they often came from family backgrounds that were wealthy enough for these me...

Ray e-mailed me this question as well as posting it here. So I thought it would be helpful to reproduce the e-mail I've sent to Ray for others to share: Officially, the Prussian regulations didn't permit the landwehr to carry flags until June 1814 and the subsequent issue of official flags didn't be...

That's great news Clarence.

I've formed the view that MPs are the critical factor in getting to grips with R2E. Once you've understood and bought into them, everything else just slips into place.

Paul, check out Martin's site I'm sure you'll find lots of info there. http://befreiungskriege.wordpress.com/ Cheers Dave Yes, I've got quite a lot of stuff on my blog. Thanks for mentioning in it, Dave. @PaulMc: to save you time rooting around the dark corners of my blog, I can point you at a coup...

Regretably I am unlikely to read the review as I never buy that tired little mag and haven't done since the 'good' Mr Macfarlane ceased to edit it. My loss I am certain. Barry, just a quick observation - we mustn't get the reviewer *Bruce* MacFarlane mixed up with the former MW editor *Duncan* MacF...

PaulMc wrote:PMT is another term for TMP. I'm guessing it's a play on the older term for PMS.

Yes, that's the gist of it. Many TMPer's get too hot under the collar over silly little things. I expect even me typing this wil be enough to set off some of them.

OK, back from W H Smith now where I only had time for a brief scan of the article in question, so my observations should be viewed as being of limited accuracy. There is indeed a review article by Bruce and a co-author. The article covers four rulesets - Lasalle, Black Powder, Napoleon and RtoE. It ...

I shall have a mooch at a copy in the local W H Smiths and report back.

Not sure if I'll be at Partizan Barry but I would be very interested to see your Prussian OOB to see how you manage organizing and allocating commanders to Prussian brigades (roughly equivalent to divisions in other armies) and their sub-units (no proper name for these but roughly equivalent to brig...

I'm potentially interested depending on the precise dates.

Hello everybody, Just thought you might be interested to know that my article about late Napoleonic Prussians that was published in Wargames Illustrated 268 is now available for free download on my blog at: http://befreiungskriege.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/article-available-for-download/ Enjoy! Martin

Barry, I just want to say a big thank you to you, David, Dave and Peter for being so generous to me yesterday and letting me take command of some of your precious forces. I good a really good impression of RtoE and I hope I've contributed a little to the royalties by purchasing a copy! There are a c...

Thanks Barry - that's really helpful.
