New Expansion Pack/Mod for JTS Campaign Waterloo

[geoff]

My view is that the British army was a joke throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Their victories in the latter Spanish battles was due to it being a side-show campaign in the overall situation. The British navy which could manage more ships than all other European nations combined sealed France's fate though. The British and allied forces at Waterloo would definitely have better quality than the majority of France's reconscripted forces but, not due to Britain's desperation at covering a larger frontage by using consolidated 2-rank skirmishing lines.

An example of how I'd solve the problem is a 2-rank British infantry formation should have a musket range 1 firepower of 4. A french 3-rank infantry formation should have a musket range 1 firepower of 6. That way the two formations would have equitable range 1 firepower. The 2/3 rank functions may better be used to represent light and line infantry expansion qualities rather than muskets per file though.
