Were I to build a French corps it would be Davout's outfit for sure. The Iron Marshal is my favourite.

The system is slick and well thought through.The tension created by not knowing how many units you can move causes a lot of thinking which is great. Really you can see just how much effort Sam Mustafa has put into these rules, and he is to be applauded for that.Independentwargamesgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019172667119107650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-67882674353203441092015-09-03T10:39:07.932-07:002015-09-03T10:39:07.932-07:00Moi?Moi?Colin Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650235978313356607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-56995799144195967782015-09-03T10:37:25.648-07:002015-09-03T10:37:25.648-07:00Now Colin, Your only working Andy, each to their o...Now Colin, Your only working Andy, each to their own, and all that.Independentwargamesgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019172667119107650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-23604501492218869282015-09-03T10:36:38.666-07:002015-09-03T10:36:38.666-07:00Andy, I knew you would pick up on that.

Naturally one would get more Austrians or Spanish for your points, which is fairly acceptable.

Thinking about it, there is nothing to stop me using the new based units for Volley and Bayonet as they are both based on brigades, but I would have to keep roster sheets.Independentwargamesgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019172667119107650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-91840117971995849392015-09-03T09:35:38.574-07:002015-09-03T09:35:38.574-07:00Robbie,
