The post was not related to the 100 days campaign in any way. After considerable deliberation, although it wasn't an ad for Viagra or something inappropriate, and is certainly of potential interest to Napoleonic wargamers, I deleted it as spam. Had it been added to a post concerning the 100 days, I would have allowed it.

I reckon that the afternoon Battle of Friedland might offer more than would be expected at first glance as the Russians have some good troops and the Russian player(s) nothing to lose.

If you start when the French are there in force, it isn't likely to be much of a game. If you start early like you have, it will be a very long game with lots of reinforcements. Really only doable with a steady group over multiple days, as you are doing so well here.
