I also thought I’d give Neil Thomas’s 19th Century rules a look. Does anyone know if they include information on organisation?

 

Doubtful there’s any hard information on organisation in Thomas’ book. There’s one scenario (the Alma), and some ‘wargames army lists’.

You could look for online information, like Dawson’s site https://sites.google.com/site/frenchcrimeanarmy/home and the Victorian Wars forum, which seems to be staffed by stereotypical grumpy old ex-colonels http://www.victorianwars.com/index.php they do know what they’re talking about though. Mostly.

You might want to take a look at these http://web.archive.org/web/20070823062032/http://home.exetel.com.au/millsy/canister/days_of_empire.htm

 

I toyed with the idea of using the ‘Days of Iron’ rules for 6mm FPW. They were certainly…comprehensive.
