The problem I have with SP2 is that I am using it for the Boshin war, I have ACW stuff ordered and am now looking at the perrys AWI plastics ! I think there is to many period options in the rules, and my wallet is not happy about it

Thank god on the Sharpulator! This is just what we need!  I have been going crazy trying to reverse engineer the lists and now I can really get cracking!  Awesome!

Brilliant,  that will come in useful.

I'm sure I read on the TFL forum that a Quick Reference Sheet will be available shortly.

There are at least 3 QRSs now available via the Yahoo group files section

With the aid of the Sharpulator I finally got a first draft done for 1812 Russians.  Just need to type it up. I also joined the TFL forum as there's some good discussion going on there. The only problem now is I have no painted opponents!  My French were always intended to be painted up as Italians. I'm guessing the French list would largely be fine for the Italians with the addition of the various Guard units, who saw a fair bit of action in Russia?  They were effectively part of the French military structure and they performed pretty well from contemporary accounts so I would not think they'd be any worse than the French?

The Italian troops of 1812 were for the most part en-par with the
French..their Guard units and artillery were excellent ..though the
fifth corp was wrecked in Russia. The uniforms were wonderful looking
whats not to like about the colour combinations!!

now as to scuipting their commander.................tempting ;)

Is there a SP Morale Tracker downloadable anywhere yet?
I've got a nicely laminated CoC one, and would like an SP one to match.
(Please don't make me sign in to a Yahoo group to get it though...  ;))

There's a force morale tracker in the file section of the yahoo group.
Maybe Rich can put it on the downloads section of the TFL website as well.

I've read a number of accounts that really rate their performance in Russia, particularly at Maloyaroslavets (or various other spellings!).You know you want to sculpt the Italian's Big Man!

yep.they were good................just bought the memoires of General Delzons
who perished leading Italian troops into that unpronounceable village....
in French but fascinating as he was "overlooked" by Napoleon who rated the Italian troops..being of that ILK himself.......... 8)

you may not know but I have a soft spot for the Italian army..... :D
