Description

A Companion to In the Grandest Manner Compatible with any Napoleonic rules system.

This publication is the second accompaniment to the planned series of Companions to both support and supplement the rules, In The Grandest Manner, with themed scenarios that are developed and played at “The Situation Room”.

To make use of this latest accompaniment to the Companion series, you do not require any specific set of rules, although they are written with the rules mentioned above in mind.

As with the previous Companion, time is spent on exploring the intricacies of the rules which the Companions support. In this edition, the focus is the section within the rules that governs “Orders” and “Command & Control”. The next aspect of the rules to receive in depth analysis is the rules pertaining to Skirmishers and how they are used in the battles using In The Grandest Manner.

• Austerlitz,
• Eylau and
• Friedland.

Austerlitz is somewhat unusual, it was split into two separate battles because of its overall size, the northern and southern fronts. Each scenario has a map, full OB and any special rules. Typical dispositions, from the games played here, are also used to illustrate the scenarios.
