Corps level BP on a budget??

Postby Rook » Mon Aug 15, 2011 5:52 pm

baring in mind I am a newbie to napoleonics and looking for ideas rather than to show my knowledge I suggest this to my elders and betters. I was thinking about the fact BP doesn't have a figure scale and a (reasonably obvious I guess) idea sparked. Using the french 1815 army as an example a unit represents a regt instead of a battalion / squadron with one stand per battalion / squadron:
Second Army Corp.

Copr commander Reille
Corps arty reserve: 1 batteries (12pdrs)

5th Div': Bachelu ( commander)
3rd line small (6 stands/ 24 figs or )
61st line small
72st line small
108th line Standard (8 stands / 32 fig)
18th co 6th foot arty 1 battery (6 pdr)

6th division
Jerome Bonaparte ( command)
1st legere standard
2nd legere large (10 stands / 36 fig)
1st line standard
2nd ligne standard
2nd co 2nd foot arty 1 battery 6pdr

9th Division
Foy ( commander)
92nd line small
93rd line standard
100 line standard
4th legere standard
1st co 6th foot arty 6 pdr 1 battery

2nd cavalry Division
Rippert (commander
1st chasseurs a cheval Standard
6thchasseurs da chev)al Standard
5th Lancers standard
6th Lancers standard
2nd company 4th HA Regt 6 pder 1 battery

Total Foot small x 4, foot standard x 6, large x 1.
Total Horse 4 x standard
Arty 12pdr1, 6pdr foot x 3 6pdr horse

Any thoughts??

Victrix plastics and an excel sheet to check amounts of figures of flankers and centers if British, not necessary if French. Perry work for it too and are made exactly in the proportions you put on the OP, so no problem checking amounts. Perry also have deals for entire armies you will surely find reaonable. Or you can always go for deals at Warlord Games and then for cavalry, arty and individuals here or elsewhere (Warstore, Triangle...)
BTW 24 figs is standard size in BP, only in the lower mark IIRC
