Anton and I have been playing a scenario he made which is proving to be very enjoyable.
I have a division of French lt cav and he has a horde of Cossacks. The match is set in 1812, and we're using HPS' NRC. Anton set the basic unit as the squadron and sontia. The forces are @4,000 men each. Quality settings for the units are fairly even, and it is proving quite a challenge to ochrestate the ebb and flow of the battle.
He's crushing me at this moment even though the current body count is 300 lost Fr to 303 lost Ru. I have lost 2 officers and 2 guns while he has only lost one officer. He has the tactical edge at the moment. (I'm a bit rusty working the HPS Nap engine. hehehe...) We are working with a homemade pdt file which is giving a good feel for cavalry combat.
Wish me luck, and I'm going to ask for a rematch of the same forces on another field after this one is over. Maybe we'll begin to add in some small infantry formations in that one.
