looking east, the Prussians on the right, the Swiss face them on the left
After holding a review and parade this morning for my newly-minted Swiss I decided to set up a game to test their mettle in battle. The scenario is "somewhere in Germany in 1813". The reconstituted Swiss face the Prussians. Assembled as a strong Division the Swiss are confronted by two of the large "brigades" (a division in anyone else's army) and must cover Napoleon's northern flank. I found my old unit of Chassuers a Cheval and gave them to the Swiss, just so they have some sort of cavalry. The Prussians have three small units of dragoons. This will be largely an infantryman's fight.

the Swiss array calmly faces the onrushing Germanic hordes
Looks like fun. I hope there will be an action report,
