All Guard Infantry are 20 figures (I recall them being 16, but anyway) per Battalion. All Artillery is 2 stands per Battery. All Guard Cavalry is 8 figures per Regiment except those marked with a '*' which are 16 figures.

Force du Crappe
Here are the final totals for "force du frappe"
This is the French and French Allied Line troops. The Guard is detailed above.

Rootin Tootin Putin, this is going to be a LOT of Shootin!
Time for the Big guns in all meanings of the word. Here are the Russians. Considering what they went through the year before this many troops in the field still is staggering. Perhaps certain modern governments should pay attention?
Establishing Russian "norms" is difficult as the units are all over the place for strengths. That said, naturally I did it anyway. Russian Infantry Battalions are considered 8 figures unless otherwise noted (there are a lot of 12's), Russian Cavalry Regiments are 12 figures unless otherwise noted (there are both 8's and 16's), Russian Cossack Putz are always 8 figures, Russian Artillery Batteries are 3 stands unless otherwise noted (there are some 2's).
"Shall we Begin?"

Schwartzenberg, Prince of the Realm, it has a nice ring to it!
Everybody disses the Austrians for joining the party last, but when they arrived, they brought the whole Kitchen sink (and no, that is not a comment on their general).
For the Austrians, all infantry Battalions are 18 figures, all cavalry Regiments are 16 figures unless otherwise noted, all artillery Batteries are 2 stands.

Der Prussians are coming!
Waltzing into this I presumed that the Prussians would be larger than the Austrians, but that proved totally wrong. Since I am posting these in order of participation, here comes Blucher and his 'elephants'.
All infantry Battalions are 12 figures, all cavalry Regiments unless otherwise noted are 8 figures, all artillery are two stands.

MU-HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Anton has foolishly allowed me posting permission on his blog (mostly because he does not want to have to type up the Coalition Orbats), let the carnival begin!
The actual corps and armies will follow, the point here is for all you "No Problems, we got it all" types to step up and claim EXACTLY what they have. To whit, the French have been up for weeks and no one but Anton has listed their holdings. To insure that this farce can continue, please feel free to sign up for what you have under any master list, we can sort out what goes in which army later.
