Three more nice old (German) maps of the 1814 campaign.

But for the scenarios, we'll have to wait for Blücher's troops...

Unfortunately, the forum isn't large enough for the map to fully show. (but you can save them, if you want)

[DominiqueT]

For those who a looking for more maps in order to make some scenarios, I can tell you that I've just put more than 80 large maps on the campaign pages of my website.

In English

In French

These maps come from :
Johnston, Alex. Keith, Atlas to Alison's History of Europe, William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London,  1848 and 1850

Thanks DominiqueT, for those good links I already knew.
But these informations can be surely useful for all those who want to create some scenarios.

Un super boulot!

On se croirait être dans l'Etat-Major de l'Empereur entrain de préparer ses campagnes.

Thanks DominiqueT for all these links.

Do you know about the level of accuracy of these maps?
Are some of them more reliable than others?

[DominiqueT]

Honestly, I would never trust one source alone.

I haven't had the time to study the exact placement of the units on these maps yet.

I don't think they are better or worse than other maps.  But they are free of copyright, and that's why I put them.

I discovered one error on the Waterloo map : Allix' and  Donzelot's divisions have exchanged places.

This Polish website in English has excellent maps made by themselves :

Yes, i've seen it. Several sources give these places.
Barbero in his book also gives this initial placement and describes D'Erlon attack at the regiment level with this organization.

Très jolie carte en effet.
