Bataille Empire

If anyone still reads these posts... My alternative army list generator has had a few more changes: The problem that caused the army title and player name not to print on some lap tops has been resolved. The bottom line of the final entry should now be visible on printing. There is now a single vers...

Ate rockets being badly treated in the BE rules? Accounts of their use in 1813 shows them to be quite effective. While they are described as being somewhat inaccurate, the idea that they might explode and the battery be destroyed seems unreasonable. I can find no account of this happening. Neither c...

We have been playing with the suggested version 2 changes. Generals cost fewer points. It has become almost obligatory to have two cheap cavalry with a poor general on a flank march. As mutual flank marches get forced back on their own side irrespective of the size, there is nothing to lose. I would...

The Army List Generator has now been updated to use the points values used in the Ballainvilliers competition.

The number of artillery units are limited by nationality. Would it also make sense to do something similar for other troops by divisions? I am thinking of Prussian infantry divisions that might be all cavalry or Austrian divisions that might be nearly all light troops or skirmishers. Something simpl...

The same link will now give you two options for the army list program. Version 2 has font changes that are working better on my new Windows 11 PC. Points XML files are included for the new points values being trialed at the Poitiers event. (The original ones are still there. Just rename the files if...

I tried something similar a couple of weeks ago. I used the 4 battalions of the Vistula Legion and a Guard Cavalry division. It took on Russians and used the proposed rule changes for the Poitiers tournament. The army lost very badly. The cavalry was obliged to charge, it had attack orders. It was t...

OK, we were not too worried, but it is good if we all play the same way.

Very good , I will call it a 9lb as it has a similar range.
Haven't painted it yet though
