Napoleonic WRG (October 2015)

Rob wanted to use his nearly completed II Corps (circa 1812) using WRG rules.
So we used a battlefield map from a old campaign and Don brought his Anglo-Portuguese as well as some of Rob's Anglo-Portuguese and Spanish.
There were 4 players per side with lots of figures.

Looking from French right to left. I commanded here with one brigade of infantry, one brigade of Saxon Kuirassiers and two batteries.

From the Anglo-Portuguese-Spanish left to right. Steve McG commanded a Spanish infantry division and a cavalry division support by about five batteries

Closer look of my French infantry command (6 x 24 battalions) and the Saxon cavalry on the road.

Same again just a little further off.
