I have the first book on pre order for march twenty....what army lists (era) can I expect in this book. I want to do Prussians around the time of jena

I believe you are going to have to wait- it is 1812-1813- Non Spain IIRC

Aw, weak sauce....Gives me time to finish my Afrika Korps

Is there a spainish list in the rule book and if so can someone say will it be valid for Britcon this year.

I don't know if I've got it right, but it seems to be Austria ( German Regts.in Helmet, Hungarians in Shako, blue trousers )& France (1808 uniform ).
Is there a clue anywhere in the forum what an 800 point Austrian Army (or Column) will contain?

1812-1813......hmmmm, gonna have to be Westphalians, hope they are in there, fingers crossed

As Phil Calcott from Stoke Wargames Group said:-

" Napoleon's going to fight to the last Westphalian, again.

FOGN rule book has the following lists:

Anglo-Portuguese Army1810-11
Spanish Army 1810-11
French Inf Corps 1812
Russian Army1812
Ottoman Turkish Army 1809-12
French Inf Corps 1813
Prussian Army 1813
Austrian Army 1813

some brave design choices made here- some armies just cannot get an exceptional army commander.

And a couple of Scenario lists, including Sacille from which it should be very easy to sort out 1809 Force. Only disappointment being a lack of maps.

Scrap the Westphalians, looks like the choices for me are

Spanish
or
French w/Wurttembergers a-la-III Corps 1812 (if do-able)

PS - does "French Infantry Corps 1812" have allied units?

Westphalians will probably be in the 1st army list book due out in June ... if you can wait.
I've used mine in a couple of playtests, fielding most troops as poor drilled. Cheap but slightly dodgy. I managed a win against Brits and a loss against Italians.

Which is why Wurttemberg sounds better, I want competent troops and those were the best Germans Napoleon had.

What does a typical army look like size wise? Did anybody get their book from barnes & noble yet?

The 800 point armies seem to be 12-14 units, perhaps up to 18 if predominantly low quality, or 8-10 for a Guard Corps.

Average composition in an infantry based force seems to be 3-4 cavalry, 1-2 artillery and the rest infantry. Mostly 4 divisions although sometimes 3. Artillery attachments are often maxed out. Mostly L1 Divisional Ccommanders, often with a L2 Corps Commander.

Sounds very doable....I wait by the mailbox impatiently

Anglo-Portuguese Army 1810-11
Spanish Army 1810-11

French Inf Corps 1812
Russian Army 1812
Ottoman Turkish Army 1809-12

French Inf Corps 1813
Prussian Army 1813
Austrian Army 1813

My French can get two "outings", but there seems to be an omission - who are the opponents for the Anglo-Portuguese in 1810-11?

That's why my Brits are doing so well in my solo campaign.

Just no opposition. .

You'll have to wait until book 2 of the lists for that. It was a hard decision trying to choose a limited number of armies for entry in the rulebook. Some, if not most, players will be disappointed. The lists in the book are to give you a flavour of what the 'real' army list will look like.

I understand the limit on army lists in the rule book and the reason behind it, but I would have expected the Anglo-Portuguese list to have a suitable opponent like the 1812 and 1813 lists.
