Russian Infantry Corps 1812

Post by bisonbob »

Hello,

I just wanted to ask a question about the attachments for this list, Artillery attachment: "up to one per unit in an infantry division, or 1 per 3 units in a cavalry division."

The list allows the use of a mixed division,..... the wording for the Artillery attachment, if read literally would mean the infantry in a mixed division could not have artillery attachments.

Is this a deliberate intention or a wording detail oversight / glitch? or does a mixed division = an infantry division with cavalry support?

If it was intentional to not allow a Russian mixed Division the use of cannon support, I would be interested in understanding more about the historical organisation that this is based on.

Thanks for your consideration.

I'm going to go with treat it as an infantry division, so 1 artillery per Infantry unit. I have tried this army myself a few times. It gets a lot of dice, just hope the Gods of dice rolling are smiling upon you or all those attachments are not going to help much. Helps to offset any French cavalry about and is deadly up close.

I bet a lot that it is glitch/oversight. I agree with Dead. Treat it like an infantry division.

What it represents? Well it really isn't in an official OB for the 1812 campaign. So I presume it is a "way" of demonstrating the various ad hoc columns pursuing the French during the retreat.
