2016 - For Mother Russia!

As I reached the half way point on my 2015 project, thoughts naturally turned to next year. The Twins have not yet got to Württemberg, so I decided to focus on doing the mainstay of the opposition to Ney's Corps at the Battle of Valutina-Gora (more on which another day), Konovnitsyn's  3^rd Division.

3^rd Div – Generalmajor Pyotr Konovnitsyn

1^st Brigade – Tuchkov III

·      Muromsk Infantry Regt

·      Revel Infantry Regt

2^nd Brigade - Voeikov

·      Tchernigov Infantry Regt

·      Selenginsk Infantry Regt (having swapped with Kaporisk)

3^rd Brigade – Prince Chakoffski

·      20^th Jæger Regt

·      21^st Jæger Regt

Grenadier Brigade

·      2 combined grenadier battalions; 1 company each from the four Line and two Jæger regiments in the Division

Artillery Brigade – Tornov

·      III Heavy Battery (three 12pdrs and a licorne)

·      V Light Battery (three 6 pdrs and a licorne)

·      VI Light Battery (three 6 pdrs and a licorne)

Cossack Brigade – Generalmajor Karpov

·      Guard Cossack Regiment (two units of twelve horsemen)

Each regiment will consist of two 32-figure battalions drawn from Wargames Foundry (see above) with staff, mounted troops, and artillery coming from the Perry Twins, and flags from GMB. There are also some extra skirmishing stands in the pile for the Jægers.

Steve Hall has agreed to paint some of the line companies, whilst I crack on with the command and elite companies. So there’s a good chance we can crack this one in a year – less the Guard Cossacks as they remain on the Perry wish list J
