I always did like ARCHDUKE CHARLES - or at any rate, I liked the equestrian statue of him rallying the boys at the Battle of Wagram in 1809, and which stands on the Heldenplatz in Vienna. My name is Robert Swan, and I've been gaming for thirty years or so! Always had a soft spot for the Austrians- who kept bouncing back defeat after defeat, and who did, after all, come out on the winning side of the Napoleonic Wars...
Another one for the bookshelf...
...once I can afford it! Like the Austrians, I am subject to occasional "impecuniousity", so this one will have to wait a while yet. Anything by Jack Gill is worth getting, though.
It starts here...
Osprey's Campaign series is a good start, and has a good order of battle.
...and continues here.
A very interesting campaign history from the French/ Confederation of the Rhine side.

Braxen, I like the compact 8-strips look, either in line or in column. Why not go for a mix?
Having a single rank of miniatures (other than skirmishers, of course) somehow doesn't seem right to me- the "mass effect" isn't the same.
Oh- and my compliments on the paint job! They look great.
