Austrian Napoleonic - Command & Control........ the slow way.....

Austrian Generals.  In 1809 the Austrian Generals C&C system relied upon lots of highly detailed orders and a discouragement of local initiative.  For many battles in BBB, you don't need many (or any!!) Austrian Generals, as they are unlikely to add anything (in games terms).  

Having said that, Austrian Generals are needed on the table for many battles, so after our Aspern-Essling game in March 2020, I made sure I had "enough".  

The base with 3 figures is the CinC, probably Archduke Charles, with two ADCs to carry and transmit the reams of orders needed.  There are 3 x two figure bases, a general & his Stabs-dragoon body guard.  3 single Generals rounds off the Austrian C&C.



I also made a "fun" figure - Arch Duke Charles seizing a flag and leading the charge....



Once again, all figures are Baccus.
