Austrians are Preparing for a Post Covid Game

Coved masking may actually end soon. The wargame club actually met last Sunday, with masks on all faces. There were about 6 games put on according to the latest club posting. I will have received my second Covid shot and with any luck, I will be hosting a game next month. My napoleonic Austrian army was reviewed in anticipation of putting the French on the run soon.

My 1809 Austrian army is not as large as my 1809 to 1814 French army but it is large enough for a 6 foot by 4 foot or an 8 foot by 5 foot table. 

                                       

There are 4.5 batteries of artillery.

Six units of Cavalry, including three units of Curriasier and three units of Hussars comprise the entire mounted arm of the army.

Two units of Austrian German Grenadiers. They consist of two '16 figure' units of four stands each. 

Three units of Grenzers and two units of Inner Austrian Landwehr are ready for garrison and forest defense of the Empire.

There are six units of Austrian Germans in 1809 helmets. Each unit consists of 16 figures in four stands.

There are three units of Grenadiers in the Austrian army, consisting of two units of German grenadiers and a single unit of Hungarian grenadiers.

Finally, there are 8 mounted commanders for individual commands and one army commany to be used to command the army under the Piquet Field of Battle rules. Before the game, I hope to have version 3.0 of the rules available. I will need to review them and teach them to the guys at the club.

The Russian, French, Prussian and Bavarian armies will be posted soon. I hope everyone else is preparing their figures for war now that we will be able to wargame again soon.
