Ian,

I am currently working on a Russian nap army as you know in 28mm with Perrys.
My battalions are 24 figs which is a good number IMO for the look of big battalions but not so big that you can't fit a large division on the table.

I am happy to try General de Brigade.

My army progresses very slowly so it may be a while before I can take the field of battle. Tony Chandler at the club has masses of French and Prussians set up for Blackpowder/ GdB so we could always have a game with him to get the feel of the rules.

Cheers
Fuzzy.
Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

Rules-wise 'Song of Drums and Shakos: large battles' look good for Division sized games!

Our group plays, Shako 2.
A decent sized game 20 or so battalions a side with cavalry and artillery will play out in 3 hours or so.
Our big battles, 100+ battalions aside or more will take the better part of a day.

We have 3 stands with 4 figures each for Battalions, 3 stands of 2 figures each for cavalry and 2 guns per battery.

They have good flavour of the period and there are a number of scenarios available for Shako.
