Well maybe it will be the Austrians: Austrian OOB

As a followup to my Prussian OOB post, I thought I would post my planned OOB for my first Austrian division. I plan to work on the Austrian and Prussian divisions simultaneously; white-blue, white-blue.......I am sure you get the idea. Change from red-blue, red-blue anyway!

As previously noted I like to use historical OOB, while at the same time grafting them on to the Lassalle Army Builder. After a look through and a think, I decided to go with an Austrian Avant-Garde division as my core Lasalle unit with an organic choice being a Landwehr unit. This gives me an excellent cross-sampling of Austrian unit types.

After a lot of looking, I have decided to use FML Nordmann's Avantgarde as it was on July 6th, 1809 at the Battle of Wagram.

Commander: Nordmann, FML Armand von

Infantry Brigade Reise, GM Freiherr von

Infantry Regiment Graf Bellegarde Nr. 44: 3 battalions

Infantry Regiment Marquis Chasteler de Courcelles Nr. 46: 3 battalions

Landwehr [1,2/Wiener Freikorps]: 2 battalions

Brigade Artillery Battery Nr. 16

Infantry Brigade Meyer, GM

Infantry Regiment Deutschmeister Nr. 4: 3 battalions

Infantry Regiment Freiherr von Kerpen 49: 3 battalions

Landwehr [5,6/Wiener Freikorps]: 2 battalions

Brigade Artillery Battery Nr. 23

Light Brigade Vecsey von Hajnacskeo, GM Peter, Freiherr

Infantry Regiment Freiherr von Beaulieu 58: 2 battalions

1^st Jager Battalion

Landwehr [3/Meinharts-Berg]: 1 battalion

Hussar Regiment Palatin von Ungarn Nr. 12

Brigade Artillery Battery Nr. 17

Light Brigade Frelich, GM Freiherr von

7^th Jager Battalion

Grenz Regiment Nr. 13: 2 battalions

Hussar Regiment Freiherr Stipsicz von Ternova Nr. 10

Cavalry Artillery Battery

Light Cavalry Brigade Schneller, GM

Hussar Regiment Erbprinz zu Hessen-Homburg Nr. 4

Cavalry Artillery Battery

Reserve Artillery

I wanted an Hungarian infantry unit to paint, so I substituted IR35 for IR49, otherwise Light Bde Froehlich and Infantry Bde Meyer are intact. I then took Light Bde Vecsey and made some changes, an Uhlan cavalry unit was substituted for 12th Hussars and the rest of the infantry are 4 Landwehr battalions. I still have not decided about the 4th Landwehr unit.

Large Lasalle units will have 36 infantry on 6 bases, while regular units will have 24 figures on 4 bases, all Cavalry units will be large with 12 riders on 6 bases. I have decided to move my bases from 3 figure to 6 figures, so my smallest units will have 20-24 figures, but more about that later. So there we have it; FML Nordmann's AG at Wagram forced into a Lasalle Army List.
