| Most of the Austrians (so far) deployed in depth. |
You will notice there is no scenery here so we must assume these boys are on exercise on the virtually featureless Marchfeld. Don't get lost fellas!
 |
| Brigades will be four to five battalions strong, often of mixed types. |
 |
| A five battalion brigade. Three 48 strong line battalions up front, two 32 strong LDW in support. Skirmishers not yet deployed. |
 |
| Two Austrian infantry brigades attack with part of a third pictured in support. Light cavalry move up on the flank from the rear. |
 |
| Three batteries massed in the centre, cannons will be glued on after these are based in the usual Marauder way. A strong brigade supports behind & Grenadier brigade behind that in reserve. |
 |
| German line battalions round a farmstead. Initially we're going to use 6mm buildings as they seem to fit just fine so far. |
 |
| Grenadiers support two infantry brigades each with a battery, skirmishers sent forward. |
 |
| The Austrian centre and Grand battery from behind as the left moves up . |
 |
| The Austrian left flank attacks; three brigades in attack formation with light cavalry brigades covering the wing. |
So, tomorrow I'll introduce the first Regiments of Austrian cavalry. Tomorrow night we glue down twenty battalions of French infantry. Artillery, skirmishers & cavalry already done. We have a shit load of basing to do in the coming months... Also flags, limbers and all the extras; well, why not?
I'll do a post on the basing of various units and how we plan to do line, square etc. We are seriously considering movement trays too - ye gads!
Catch up soon, very best wishes,
Jeremy
