Historical Deployments of Battles Part #1: Austerlitz (with pics)

[Jacquinot]

I have just had a look at the satellite maps created by Alfiere and Jacquinot - I will post a historical deployment on this map tonight or tomorrow - and will let you choose which one we'll use for the release!

furthermore I will try to use a different OOB this time let's see!

Ok let's see! We play our scenario with Alfiere in PBEM and get historical result on this map!

Very well, Count.

Good work.

Very well, Count.

Good work.

the problem I see with you satellite map is that almost the entire battlefield of the V Corps - with Santon to the north is no longer on the map - therefore it will be difficult to deploy Bagration  historically!....

as requested a few more screenies of the 1:1 at Austerlitz

now all units are at their historically accurate positions (or close) but not all of them are deployed in the correct formation, as a line formation simply looks  better than a column

I look at this pictures and i think we need to diminish trees, grass, constructions etc, right?

that unfortunately is something I cannot influence - maybe JMM will look at it - I haven't asked him....

The present beta test version isn't finished.. For example, the trees/building/grass scale isn't right.
I am working on this part
