Battle of Dresden, Black Powder Game Setup

Tentative setup for the game on Friday. Wanted to see how the troops would fit on the 10x6' table top. Kind of cramped, but we'll see how it works out - right now, I have about six players showing up. Most have played Black Powder at least a couple of times, if not more.

The game as noted in the title is loosely based upon the Battle of Dresden. Added a little stream to slow down the Allied advance a bit as they outnumber the French.
The French are in and around the city and have their artillery in defensive positions.
Russians on the Allied left.
Prussians in the Allied center.
Austrians on the Allied right flank.
French left. The French do have a few more cavalry units which may not be historically correct, but throwing all the figures on the table for this game.
French center - with Napoleon himself in charge.
French right with Guard units and heavy cavalry. This side should be quite powerful for the French.

Well, so much for now - will post an update once the game is played. Thanks for visiting, and hope you all are off to a great start in the new year.
