Dear Gentlemen,
I know that this is the child of Adrian and Kevin but our man in Grimsby has asked that I produce some sort of 'force orbat list' to help with organization of forces. In other words... a dreaded 'Army List'
I will do this in due course and post it up in the WARCHEST as a pdf download but in the interim Herr Howe has also asked that I ask you to confirm attendance by return to this post on the Forum
Our understanding was that the following players would attend and play the following forces:
Colin Jack - The Austrians
Peter Nicholson - The Russians
Dave O'Brien - The Russians
Angus Konstam- The Russians
Adrian Howe- The Prussians
Kevin Calder- The Prussians
Peter McCarroll - The Brunswick Freikorps
Charles Grant - The French
Dale Smith - The French
Andrew Nicholson- The French
Bob Lauder - The French
Barry Hilton - The French
David Imrie - The French
This makes it slightly imbalanced but probably means a 'double up' from two Allied players against one French player which is do-able.
The initial battles will be of divisional size with a mandatory component to each force (probably 8-10 battalions of infantry + an artillery battery) and a free choice component of additional troops.. either infantry, cavalry or l artillery.
I will do this simple guide shortly.
Peter N, Angus, Kev, Ade, Barry, Dale, Charles, Peter Mc will probably be able to furnish themselves with their entire contingents.
Dave O'B and DI will be able to provide some of their own commands but possibly not all. Additional French from either Barry, The twa'Peters or Dale. Additional Russians from Peter N maybe?
Austrians for Colin will come from Dale/Peter N
Very much looking forward to this one... might even seem like a tournament
Did I
really say that??
