Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the rules, and eager to get started. Can anyone give me a quick guide as to how many units there should be per force [infantry cavalry artillery etc]. I'll be starting off with a French and British penisuler force.
I will be using 40mm x 30mm bases with 6mm Baccus figures.
Any help appreciated
British Peninsular Force:
Inf Div: 4 inf; 1 elite Inf (+), 1 RA Btty, 2 SK Bases (+2 inf if attacking)
Lt Div: 1 Rifle (+), 1 Elite Inf (+), 1 Inf, 2 Cacadore, 1 RHA Btty, (+2 inf if attacking)
Gd Div: 2 Gd Inf (+), 2 Elite Inf, 1 RA Btty, 2 SK Bases, (+2 inf if attacking)
(+) = Large Battalion
thanks Basilhare
Just in case you didn't know, Smokie, that doesn't mean you get all the units listed above - it depends on whether you choose an Inf Div, a Lt Div or a Gd Div - you only choose one of them. There are also support choices, but there are quite a few of them, including allies. There are even more choices for the French.
I didn't know that, so am I correct in thinking that if I choose an British Infantry Division all I would get is -:
Infantry Division:
4 infantry units @ 4 bases each [16 bases total]
1 elite Infantry unit @ 6 bases
1 RA Btty, [2 guns and 1 How]
2 SK Bases
so how many support choices would you get with the above.
Hey Smokie,
you wouldn't be located in the Pacific NW by chance? I'm going to build a 6mm army as well, (Prussians first, then French). It'd would be cool to have a nearby opponent.
Cheers,
Peter
sorry peteywa, I am a few thousand miles away UK Scotland to be exact. I think it may be a bit far to go for a game :)
we just have to scale up a bit. Say 40km BW? We'll use Northern Ontario for the table.
Old Smokie ... When the book says "Infantry Division" it seems to just be a classification of what the make up of one's army list starts with (perhaps this is classifed as a brigade and not really a divison). So that is correct, you'd only get what is listed as the core of your army for a British Peninsula force using the infantry division catagory. As an example, if a tournament driector only had the army lists as what one could compose their army with, then it seems that is all you'd be able to bring to the table versus the other players with simmilar limitations.
Regarding support choices, the number is also something that can be determined, one or more I suppose, and in each catagory the rules book lists what such brigades can be composed of. As an example, you might be entitled or agree with your opponent to each bring either another organic brigade (British Peninsula being 4 more infantry units and a RA Btty) or a reserve brigade (Dragoon or Light Cav Brigade, both with different compositions including and RHA btty) or an allied brigade (Brunswick or Portugese composed from the choices in the minor powers lists).
@ peteywa
that would be some size of table, I shudder to imagine how many figures I wqould need for that, I'd be painting till the end of time :)
@ Gamespoet
thanks for the reply
