In general the highlighted hexes show the allied troops
The French are the troops in Blue

Turn 15 First Contact: I was able to pick off a 600 man French battalion (Austrians get tricky), surrounded and wiped out and I was able to take out a 4 gun French arty unit that was only defended by a 70 man CAV unit in a town hex, because of the terrain, I don't think he knew I was in range. Note: The arrival of the Russians in the North West corner of the map. The Allies start off out numbered 3:1 in the north at the start of the game. This will change as the game goes on

But, this is an excellent example of the need for operational security at the Corps level. Even though we know the general start positions of the enemy 15 tuns have gone by and exact position of the French are not know unless the unit is sighted by another unit. The games fog of war is the best part of PBEM. The light CAV should always be out front and the arty should not be deployed in range of the INF of the Prussians. If there is a choice between risking an ARTY unit and moving the ARTY, move the ARTY, live to fight another day...deployed ARTY that losses a melee battle is destroyed because it can not retreat

The game gives three levels of 2D, ZOOM out, Zoom and Detail. These are the three shots I have posted and give look at the scale of the game and total size of the map. Each hex is 100 yards across.

Also, the game has3D zoom out and 3D detail view, 2D gives the most information but 3D can sometimes show the different elevations.

Stay tuned and I will give break down of the Allied and French Armies of 1813.
Please excuse any and all bad grammar and spelling, I am just to fast...
