Le Bois de Paris: The OOB's

I have used the historical units for both the Prussian (15th and 16th brigades of the IV Corps) and French sides (VI Corps and the Domon and Subervie cavalry divisions).
Regarding the Prussian forces, I am not sure about to use
either the 15th or the 15th and 16th Brigades in the game. It is a sensible question that must be answered before the play starts, because the composition and strenght of the Prussian columns clearing the wood, is depending from that choosing.
On the contrary, there is not any question about the
French forces., that will be used as a pool, from which the adequate unit will be extracted following the die roll (See the previous post). (Edited: Not all the French units of the OOB will be on the table)

  1. For all action as a prelude to Placenoit, that is a pretty big OB, how big is the OB for Placenoit. I am looking forward to this one.

    I am not sure if use the 15th braigade alone, or the 15th and 16th brigades. For the French, all these are 'posible' units.
