The
Austrian Army
I like the Austrians, they are colourful and
look good on the wargames table.
They are also the most successful army in the
1813 campaign.
This is the seventh campaign in Southern
Germany, and the Austrians have won all six.
There are ten armies in the campaign, and this is the only one who have
achieved this win rate. The French
Guard have only won five of their seven campaigns.
They are a very colourful army, with many
different types of troops. The infantry
alone have grenadier, line, jager and militia brigades. All hussars look good, but Austrian ones
particularly so. Even the dragoons look
different with their yellow and black headgear. Despite this their morale and combat ability
is exactly the same as all armies in the campaign.
Third
French Army
Of the five French armies in the 1813 campaign,
this is the only one which has no French brigades at all (other than some
gunners and hussars pretending to be Bavarian and Baden).
I have always liked the light blue Bavarian
uniforms, which make the dark blue of the Baden corps look quite drab. With the white Austrian uniforms they also
make for a very colourful wargames table.
