Altenburg. An OOB for Lasalle

This is the first version of the OOB for Altenburg. As was exposed in previous posts, Altenburg was a small combat, a running retreat fought between a small French force searching for Allied Streifcorps near Leipziig in the last days of September 1813. The number of combatants was small and the forces of both sides were almost composed by cavalry, so this game will be a sort of wargaming experiment, because I never did played a such engagement on the tablegame.

  1. I am a little confused about the size of your cavalry units are they all the same?

  2. Hi John
    There are only two sizes for the units in Lasalle: Normal @4 bases and Large (marked with a '+') @6 bases.
    I have consolidated some units in the OOB so the large Austrian units are the combination of two real units.
