I was disappointed we couldn't pull off a counter attack with our cavalry but those French were certainly cunning in their attack and kept us guessing where to concentrate. Black Powder definitely worked well with 15-18mm figures and centimetre distances.<br /><br />Cheers, Caesarmatchbox marshalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845993966833080684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845445937219070849.post-81839698341465878602016-08-27T14:45:43.030+10:002016-08-27T14:45:43.030+10:00Thanks Chasseur!Thanks Chasseur!Sparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008013944950635778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845445937219070849.post-36066085395608589492016-08-27T14:45:26.128+10:002016-08-27T14:45:26.128+10:00Thanks so much SOY.

Each infantry unit was played as a battalion, but yes, since each 'Brigade' was actually a Corps, it did probably represent a brigade.Sparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008013944950635778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845445937219070849.post-19938350595308281232016-08-27T14:43:41.497+10:002016-08-27T14:43:41.497+10:00Hi Alejandro - and thank you!
