Chapter 1 - Corps Creation

The best way to give you a teaser of the possibilities of the OoB editor is to describe the creation of a historical OoB. We have decided to choose a famous unit: The 3rd Corps of Davout, as it was organized and equiped in the beginning of October 1806.

OoB editor

We name our Order of Battle "October1806" - Author : Herm, Year 1806. The CEH/KCEH , short for Coefficient Men Equivalent, does not have importance here. It is assigned automatically, and is be used for competitive games when it would be necessary to define a budget for the creation of each army.

Nationalité

Our army commander will be Napoleon, He has (obviously) Excellent Charisma, Excellent Effectiveness (on the top on the left). On the second screen, we name our army: La Grande Armée, and its manpower is 0 for the moment.
