My Prussian army list for this endeavor is going to be based on Yorck's Corps ...

Quote:

II (Yorck) Corps was formed from the forces that had formally been the 27th Division of X Corps that he had expertly extracated from Russia to 20000 men with a further 13000 in depots in East Prussia between the Vistula and Niemen Rivers.

1st (Oberst von Hunerbein) Brigade: 1st Combined IR (3 Bns), 2nd Combined IR (3 Bns), 3rd Combined IR (3 Bns), 7th Fus Bn (Fus/IR3 (2nd East Prussian)), 1st Combined Hussar Regt (200 horses), 2nd Horse Battery, 1st and 3rd 6 pdr Battery

2nd (Oberst von Horn) Brigade: 4th (Leib) Combined Regt (3 Bns), 5th Combined Regt (3 Bns), 6th Combined Regt (3 Bns), 2nd Combined Hussar Regt (200 horses), 3rd Horse Battery, 2nd and 6th 6 pdr Battery

Cavalry Reserve (GM von Corswandt) Brigade: 1st Combined Dragoons, 2nd Combined Dragoons, 1st Horse Battery

Reserve Artillery (Major von Schmidt): Ω 3rd 12 pdr Battery, 1st 6pdr Battery, 5 Park columns, 1 Handwerker column, 3 Field Pioneer Columns

... and I'm thinking should look something like this based up for NapoFoW ...

Further mulling over Scott's suggestion of going with Division level battles instead of Corps, I revisited my Prussian army list and took the second Brigade (Division) from Yorck's Corps ...

- 4th (Leib) Combined Regt
1 HQ Base
4 Grenadier Company Bases (1 Battalion)
= 26 Figures (at 6 figs per company base + 2 HQ figs)
- 5th Combined Regt
1 HQ Base
8 Musketeer Company Bases (2 Battalions)
4 Fusileer Company Bases (1 Battalion)
= 74 Figures (at 6 figs per company base + 2 HQ figs)
- 6th Combined Regt
1 HQ Base
8 Musketeer Company Bases (2 Battalions)
4 Fusileer Company Bases (1 Battalion
= 74 Figures (at 6 figs per company base + 2 HQ figs)

Are oppenents the problem? Or miniatures? Right now, miniatures are the problem. I am using 1/72 scale with FOW bases. Works great! Just got lots to paint.

Hope all goes well with the painting.
I have enough painted miniatures to play. That's really not the hurdle.
