WishList : the battles?

[JMM]

Hello,

Les Grognards will be released with some battles (around 10).

Austerlitz and Friedland.. but anothers ones too...
Do you have some ideas? I am waiting for your wishlist...

JMM

EDIT : I forgot to say : just french vs austrian and/or russian.

Friedland, you say? How interesting!
Does it means that there will be French line infantry with shako in the game as well as bicorne, considering that shako was introduced  in 1806 and in full use in 1807?
Futhermore there was a small amount of Prussians at Friedland. Will Prussians be in the game after all?

As for the wish list, apart from the two battles you already mentioned my top eight list  would be, in order of priority:

Borodino
Marengo
Wagram
Arcole
Rivoli (1997)
Elyau
Eggmuhl
Bautzen

Hi,
I go along with that...battles such as  Eylau,Eckmühl, Aspern-Essling andWagram would be very welcomed...oh
, and anything from 1814    

S!

Les Grognards is a tactical wargame...

1806 will be the first piece of the serie... Operaionnal level! (is it clear?)
The other packages 18xy will add the other nations.. and HistWar will become a Strategical Wargame...

Today, I don't think to add the other armies into Les Grognards!

About the wishlist..
Les Grognards allows to replay the 1805-1815 epoch.. and not before this date... but it will be possible to use the 2 editors to create your battles.... (why not before 1805.. but maybe some problem with the uniforms...)

Link, I don't forget I have to answer about the different french units... There will be the bicornes, the shakos, the Bearskin headgears, Colpack, Cuirassier, Carabinier, Dragoon helmet...

Bonjour JMM,
Thanks for the info about the units. I hope your answer doesn't mean that you will not upload the unit screenshots. :puppy:

About the carabiniers. They drastically changed uniform in 1810 to wear a bronze cuirass. Will it be two setup of carbiniers depending on the year of the battle?

/Lars L.

[JMM]

No problem Link...
I gave these informations to avoid the delay... but there will be the ScreenShots as soon as possible.

Many helmets are ready.. dragoons, cuirassiers, bicorne, shako, bearskin, colpack...

By this way,  there will be a lot of uniforms.. it will be possible to get the Guard Grenadiers of the third regiment (White + Red).. but it was the second one on 1810!

I am writing the code of OoB Editor.. To create a OoB
1) you have to create the map
2) then you can do the OoB.. One of the parameters is the date.. so when you will add an unit.. this one will be matched with a 'good year' uniform... (date from 1805 to 1815.. so I have to see Marengo, Rivoli and other battles before 1805..)

In more, it will be possible to modify some part of this uniform (like I wrote)

I hope it's clear

Seams to me that this OOB editor of yours will be very powerful.

When you upload the screenshots could you please show us the the interface for the OOB editor as well, if it's more or less ready that is.

/Lars L.

[Rush]

Link, I think we all have to start reading and learning all the OoB`s...that way we can be prepared to use the editor to the full...now I need a early night ..and dig out my Napoleonic books that go into OoB depth......where did I place them???

Bonjour

/Lars L.

Here is the screenshots..
These ones show the present system.. and maybe there will be some differences with the final one...

Important : 5 lists..

one for the nations (around 10++)...
one for the name of chiefs, (the ist isn't terminated..)
one for the name of units (around 400 or 500 names),
two for the kind of units:

A/ Infantry, cavalry, artillery [foot or horses]
B/ variable with the nation and the date :Guard , young Guard, dragoon, line, light (french infantry)... carabiniers, cuirassiers, dragoon, lancier, hussar, chasseur à cheval, (french cavalry)

Bonsoir Monsieur,

Do you have a preference for a battle.. I am waiting for one if you wish..

JMM
Sam, I am working about the list of Name of Chief.. Big job.. then I'll send the OoB editor to you and the Best Beta Test Team of the World (B2T2  :wink: )

Bonjour JMM,

I apologize.. I thought that preferences from other grognards would be of more importance than mine... I shall rectify this oversight at once:

1. Jena-Auerstadt
2. Friedland
3. Eylau (chargez Murat!)
4. Aspern-Essling (huge!)
5. Wagram (more huge!)
6. Borodino (can't forget about Kutosov!)
7. Some Spanish Battles (Salamanca, Talavera, Coruna, etc.)
8. Marengo (I like chicken too!)
9. Rivoli-Arcola
10. Battle of the Pyramids

just for a start.. and maybe some campaigns based around these battles..  that would be great..

The Pontonniers eagerly await the OOB Editor... we can always 'plug-in' some names in a pinch.. hahahahahahaha

Cordialement, Duc d'Earl

Bonsoir JMM.
I can't wait to get my hands on this one!  
I like the background graphics too. What ever you do keep on to your graphic artist . :wink:

Ooh, I just noticed I've been promoted to corporal. I guess we have a new corporal on this forum.  :amuse:
