Very good, but you will have to do a lot better to get anywhere near the views of the Top Totty thread!

No man could compete with that.

Congrats, Michael. Great going for a private blog.

Just inherited about 2500 Baccus 6mm Austrians. Your blog has got me interested in trying to do Aspern-Essling myself, although I will use Black Powder as Im not a massive Napoleonics fiend. Have you got a OOB on your blog, coz I couldnt find one (and I got distracted by how lovely it all was)

Yes, there are complete orders of battle on the 11 pages of Post 21.

My feeling with BP when I wrote Post 4 was that the size categories of units with smaller scales would be more complicated than simply counting bases. I'll have another look. Great to hear how you get on.

I've tentatively put together a French supply wagon out of Pendraken parts.

It's Post 69 but it's the 100th page of the Blog.

Cheers mate.
Im just going to keep it super simple. Have most of the Austrian line battalions as large units and the French as standard. 6 bases for large, 4 for standard.

Thanks, Leon. Just going to add a bit more putty to his leg now that I've seen the photo!

Just found this for Lasalle, which should be convertable to Black Powder. Will have a good look at your links too- this is going to be very helpful.

I found that you can break down unit sizes to two basic sizes of battalion. The Austrians, however, don't have a monopoly on the larger unit size. The Austrians just have more larger battalions, the French more smaller battalions.

A nice little inheritance there Chris .

I've added a couple more images of the French supply wagon to Post 69 -- also with a little more putty added.
