Thank you very much, I wont add denmark-Norway,Poland and Saxony because there will be to many factions. I might add Denmark later. I'm keeping Portugal off the list until later, because that historically happened, as GiantMonkeyMan said, but they will pop up every now and then as will other countries, they are not under controll by anyone, unless attacked, maybe! I am adding Sweden because they had stuff to do with Russia in 1809 with some War, Great Northern War I think, Other than that nothing else!

There were no Landwehr until 1813, but there was Landwehr cavalry I believe after that date. The Prussian army of 1796 was pretty similar to the army of the 7 year's war and Frederick the Great with the emphasis on the muskeeteers standing in line exchanging volleys. When the French came along with their colummns which did not flinch under the musketry, the linear tactics of the Prussian and Austrian armies failed - hence the string of defeats to Napoleon - slightly simplified I know, but basically true. Most continental armies went over to the column tactics, but this meant a change of army organisation, training etc. The exception was the English who realised that if you stood on a reverse slope and had good fire discipline etc and excellent skirmishers then your fire shock could halt then break a column.
Yes Franc - Napoleonic is another period where I wargammed extensively in years gone by!!!
