But what Laselle this far has done is made me resurrect my Saxon Army form my Teens and also dig out my fathers Russian horde. So a lot of re-basing has gone on and in some cases just a revamp of the bases was required.
There is also another complication I have just agreed to buy someone's Napoleonic collection for metal price. Oops.
I will end up with the following armies to use with Laselle. British, French, Russian, Prussian, Austrian and Saxon, along with a plethora of minor states.
So up to now I have a Saxon army (an unofficial list off the Honor Web site) and a Russian one, although I need to re-base some of the Russian cavalry units for use with Laselle.
Saxon 1812 Army
My Saxon VII Corps is almost complete. I still need 3 more Light Infantry Battalions. But in Lasalle I can not field the whole Corps. I can either field my Saxons as Allied Brigade for the French or use the list from the web site.Saxon Brigade (Back 3 battalions are only used if attacker) |
I intend to use my Saxons as stand alone army as I have always have done. So under Lasalle, my armies core Brigade would consist of:
4 Line Battalions
2 Grenadiers Battalions
1 Jager Battalion
1 Medium Artillery Battery
with the following for use when attacking:
2 Line Battalions
1 Grenadier Battalion
If attacking this gives almost a Division worth of Saxons.
As most games I will play will only have one support available I will mainly use a Cavalry Brigade, which consists off:
1 Cuirassier Regiment (+)
2 Light Cavalry Regiments
1 Horse Artillery Battery
Cavalry Brigade (Cuirassiers still need their bases updated) |
Russian 1812 Army
The Russians are still a work in progress and are still in need of re-basing. Up to now all I have ready is the Core Brigade.Russian Brigade (Artillery Batteries are two guns each missing) |
6 Line Battalions
1 Medium Battery
1 Positional Heavy Battery
Russian Artillery battery at full strength showing how wide it will be compared to the two infantry Battalions behind. |
I have not yet re-based the Cavalry brigade, and I am undecided between a Light Brigade or a Cuirassier Brigade.
More to come.
