He only said the f word on about 10 occasions which must be some sort of record for a game.

Thanks, Simon, they were indeed very useful.

Whilst I realise that the aim of the game is to remove the minutiae of battlefield tactics and replicate command at a higher level, am I right in thinking that the command level in DBN can, in effect, be whatever you want it to be? Or are there individual rules mechanisms that prevent that? It struck me that, provided I keep the French at the same level, I could base my Brunswickers as individual battalions, rather than entire brigades. I won't be able to form square or move in columns, but then 8 figures on a base is pretty abstract anyway; equally, I can't detach skirmishers, but I can allow for specific units to all be doing that.

Yes to all that.
