FRENCH IF NAPOLEON IS NOT PRESENT – Aggression: 2

Notes: ½ means no more than 1 corps in 2 can have such an element. Saxon foot and mounted except cuirassiers are classed as inferior because of disaffection (they finally changed sides). French cavalry (except Dragoons, who were not in the disastrous 1812 campaign) are classed as inferior because inexperienced riders on bad horses. French infantry, although mostly recent recruits, are presently not classed as inferior because they seem to have learned quickly and their bad behaviour was mostly off the battlefield.

Notes: Prussian brigades were division-sized formations of 1 regiment each of regulars, reserves and landwehr. The reserves being recently serving soldiers are assumed to be as good as the regulars, but were differently uniformed, usually in grey. Russian battalions had been reduced by campaigning to 250-300 men each, so a Russian foot element now represents a brigade. Swedish cavalry are classed as inferior because of poor horses and lack of regimental-level training. Austrian infantry are now classed as inferior because their confidence, training and equipment had degenerated since 1809, but more importantly because their own generals (who should know) said they were! Troops of reserve divisions have been placed directly under the C-in-C.

I am confident of the French in spring and autumn and the Prussians in autumn, for which I have detailed orders of battle, less so of the Austrians, least of the Swedes and Russians and the Prussians in spring 1813. The mixing of corps in each army is confusing and I have had trouble allocating corps commanders. Any of you who have better information on 1813 (or 1814) please advise me.
