French Characters

Firstly, I would like to thank each and every one of you who plays a French character. This has increased the prospective threads and playability of the Game overall.

We currently have characters in two different French groups: various soldiers in the 86th of the Line, and a Voltigeur officer in the 17th Régiment d'Infanterie Légére.

The Légére were the French equivalent of the Rifles - in fact, until the advent of the Rifles, they were the best Light troops in any European Army, and Wellington never had as many Riflemen as he would have liked to counter them.

Should anyone wish to make a French character, could I encourage you to consider making someone in the 17th, which will again expand the range of the Game?

I will make additional groups in the French Army to differentiate between Line, Légére and French civilians, and will also expand the site to give the French their own board along the lines of the current areas for the Second Division, etc.
