    Default I want to know.

    Hello Guys! I have one concern again about Napoleon own army. I would like to know about his own army, about his units which he used in one single army. I think you understand what I want to know now. I would like to know how many example imperial guard, light infantry, cavalry and other units was in his army? How he placed them on the battlefield? Maybe someone can help me witht his, because I want to build in Napoleon Total War same army like he used.

    There are MANY reference texts on Napoleonic warfare. Just google it up and you will find enough for your heart's contentment.

    That being said, I would think NB's army would have 4 units of the best artillery you can field, 4 units or so of light and heavy cavalry, 8 units of elite infantry (Old and Young Guard), and a few skirmishers. NB really liked artillery.

    Well it is difficult to represent a Napoleonic army in TW but an approximation would be something like 1General, 2 Heavy Artillery units, 1 Horse Artillery unit, 2 Guard units, 2 Cuirassier(Heavy) Cavalry units, 2 Hussar/Lancer/Chasseur a Cheval(Light) Cavalry units, 3 Chasseur(Light) Infatry units, 1 Carabinier Heavy) Infantry unit, 1 Grenadier(Heavy) Infantry unit, and 5 Fusilier(Line) Infantry. This is very general mind you and could vary depending on year and theatre of operation.
