Kai -> Converting COTD into Grande Armee Miniatures Battles (3/6/2016 7:46:05 PM)
|
Campaigns on the Danube is one of the few computer games that allows for battle resolution using miniatures.
Here's how I convert my COTD battles into miniatures battles using Sam Mustafa's Grande Armee rules:
COTD to GA translation (Unit Quality)
COTD Regular Infantry= GA Trained
COTD Regular Cavalry= GA Veteran
COTD Veteran Infantry = GA Veteran
COTD Veteran Grenadiers or Cavalry= GA Elite
COTD Elite = GA Guard
Infantry COTD Strength Points to GA Infantry SP translation (Round to nearest whole number)
Elite COTD strength x 1.5 = GA SP
Veteran COTD strength x 1.3 = GA SP
Regular COTD strength x 1.1 = GA SP
Light Cavalry COTD strength x 2 = GA SP
Heavy Cavalry COTD strength x 2.5 = GA SP
Limitations on brigade SP value:
The basic brigade SP value that can be purchased is limited by the Grande Armee morale class as follows:
Trained Cost is 3 SP for each SP over 7 (Maximum is 10)
Veteran Cost is 3 SP for each SP over 8 (Maximum is 11)
Elite Cost is 3 SP for each SP over 9 (Maximum is 11)
Guard Cost is 3 SP for each SP over 12 (Maximum is 13)
All brigades must have a starting value of 5 SP or more if possible. An army may only have 1 Guard brigade of less than 7 SP (one each cav and infantry.)
Creating Mixed Infantry Cavalry brigades:
Austrians may use 1 Cavalry SP to make an infantry unit a mixed brigade. Maximum of 2 such Mixed brigades in any Corps.
Artillery: Each 2 COTD strength points (round up) = 1 GA artillery battery. ( ½ are heavy, ½ are medium)
Reisch, Werneck, and Murat’s Corps artillery is horse artillery.
Examples
Bellegarde VII Corps
Vukasowich Infantry Strength 11 Regular
Simbschen I Infantry Strength 15 Regular
Sinbschen II Infantry Strength 15 Regular
O’Reilly Cavalry Strength 4 Regular
Corps Artillery Strength 4
41 COTD Infantry strength points = 45 GA SP
4 Cav COTD Light Cav strength points = 8 GA SP
4 Artillery COTD strength points = 2 GA 12 pound batteries
GA Equivalent
5 Infantry brigades of 7 SP each
1 Infantry brigade of 8 SP
1 Light cav brigade of 8 SP
1 heavy battery (12 pound)
1 medium battery (6 pound)
