Sharp Practise: What Army Lists?

[tp_1983]

Hi all,

After deciding to give Sharpe Practise a go I'm a little confused about what Army Lists to use. I'm looking at gaming 1812 onwards, for British and French.

Many thanks

Basic lists are included with the rules together with support lists.

The only Napoleonic list in the book is for the Peninsular War, is this suitable to carry over to the other conflicts? I can't imagine it would be very different but I am very new to the era.

For 1812 to 1814 The Peninsular was the main theatre of conflict between the British and French armies, obviously you then had the 100 days in 1815 culminating in Waterloo.

All the other Napoleonic lists are available on the Lardy Forum.  You can access it via our web site. Then look for the Sharp Practice section.  That covers a whole range of different French armies from the revolution to Waterloo.

Thanks everyone for your help.

I have another rather random question.

When I first bought some miniatures for Sharpe Practice I got some British Riflemen and some armed civilians with the intention of adding to them with British and Portuguese. I painted up the civilians but then discovered that my main opponent already had quite a number of British figures.

With this mind does anybody have any suggestions for a French force that would include armed civilians?

Ahhh, French Revolutionary Wars ? French and Indian Wars , the American War of ingratitude ........

Or maybe some bandits/smuglers on the spanish hills that stole/kidnaped something/someone.
The british regular army will try to rescue/retrieve it.

Or you could go South American, lots of Napoleonic looking uniforms, and some Napoleonic veterans occasionally.
Simon Bolivar etc, but you could use it as an excuse for an "imagi-nations" setting - the 18th century crowd do a lot of minor "German" states that are fictional for SYW bashes, so maybe you could opt for an 1820s South American imagi-nations setting if you can't find actual ones that match what you are looking for.

Or go North American 1812 invasion of Canada.
British & Canadians on one side, Americans on the other. Both sides can use civilian (militia) figures, and some American uniforms look very similar to British ones (but generally a different colour)
