Although sources disagree about the composition and strength of the Allied Army-Group, it is clear the Battle of Leipzig was the largest battle of the Napoleonic Wars. The website Armies, Battles, Commanders and Tactics during the Napoleonic Wars gives the Allies a general total of 273,000-396,000 men and 1,050-1,555 guns (120,000-196,000 men and 380-785 guns in the Army of Bohemia; 63,000-70,000 men and 310-360 guns in the Army of Silesia; 55,000-70,000 men and 225-275 guns in the Army of the North; 35,000-60,000 men and 135 guns in the Army of Poland; 35,000-60,000 men and 135-300 guns with detached formations). The Allied unit total� -- 454 battalions and 490 squadrons, excluding Swedish troops -- is broken down into 229 battalions and 234 squadrons (Russian) 115 battalions and 127 squadrons (Austrian) 110 battalions and 129 squadrons (Prussian). By nationality, the estimated 359,000 Allied troops at Leipzig were composed of 150,000 Russians, 115,000 Austrians, 75,000 Prussians and 19,000 Swedes.

Are the British included with the Swedes?

I'm using a different site, and the Rocket battery is listed at the bottom of the Swedes, last thing in the list

I'd rather be wrong with Sunjester than right with Orcs! 🤣🤣

Unfortunately for you that is not an option here, as Sunjester agreed with me, so that make both of us right and you wrong. So you have to be wrong on your own

Very keen on "following orders", those lads.

NO!

Want to work out army list first, see what I need.

Any suggestions for Swedish on a uniform match? It will be the hats that will be the biggest difference.

In addition to Swedish hats,

the single Congreve rocket battery at Leipzig (No promises I will get the Prussians) - treat like a Artillery battery?

Its probably best to ignore it. Has 4-6 launch frames so insignificant in terms of Blucher. It's only there because Wellington didn want it.

Paint a figure red (or should it be blue) and make a speech bubble saying "I'm participating".
