So this project is a go. I've had a bunch of miniatures in a box for a while, not motivated enough to paint them because of a lack of possible rules to use them with. Now they're on the painting table with 12 of them primed and partially painted to test appropriate painting techniques before I tackle the rest. And they'll stay on the painting table until I get my hands on that Elf Warhost I want.
As for list design, I think i'm going to keep is super simple. Light cav, heavy cav, light batteries, heavy batteries, horse artillery, a few different grades of infantry. Then I'll probably handle national flavour with army wide special rules like "Thin Red Line" to cover the British using a 2 man deep line for shooting instead of 3 men deep or "Grand Battery" for how the Russians organized their cannons.
I'm not 100% sure how to handle skirmishers except to just hand wave them and roll them into the fighting. Grande Armee simply assigns each brigade a skirmish stat and then uses that as part of a combat modifier. I need to do more research about how far skirmishers ranged from their brigades.
