About Napoleon's Grand Armee
We are proud to announce our first Grand Battles supplement has now been released! You can build Napoleon's French armies between 1808-1815 using Napoleon's Grande Armee Parade Handbook.
It is 68 pages, full colour book. In this supplement you will find in-depth divisional organisations for all the French main battle divisions between 1808-1815. From these lists you can build pretty much any French corps that fought in Spain, Italy, Austria, Russia and Germany. Although for all allied divisions you will need their handbooks as well, as this supplement only covers the French.
Build Line, Reserve, Marie Louise, Marine, Swiss, Grenadier, Young, Middle and Old Guard infantry divisions. You can also build historical Light, Dragoon, Cuirassier and Guard cavalry divisions as well as deploy Grand Batteries.
We have also added in our selection of National Heroes into the Headquarters options. Napoleon comes to mind - naturally! However, you can also select Ney, Davout, Lannes, Massena, Soult, Macdonald and Nansoulty. Men like Murat and Eugene, who also commanded other national forces will be highlighted in those handbooks. Both of these French Generals will be found in the Armies of Italy handbook. All national traits and special rules pertaining to the French are easily located in the glossary at the end of the book, so you will never have to worry about trying to find out what Marie Louise troops can and cannot do!
The army list building options are very flexible and clearly laid out. The other day we played a French vs Austrian game and going straight to George Nafziger's orders of battle for the Dresden campaign as my source, I built Lauriston's French corps in a few minutes, using this French supplement!
Vive la France! Vive l'Empereur!
