The Battle of Austerlitz - 15mm Austrian army from 1805 by Bothi
The Generals
As I wanted to paint up more Fighting 15s from AB Miniatures I decided to paint the generals and their staff next. These minis have some incredible details to them and really took me to the edge of my painting skills. But I am quite happy with them. I used the Erzherzog Karl /Archduke Charles set for these.
First up we have the austrian commander of the 4th column (there was also a russion one). The mini is actually Archduke Charles but in this force he will represent Feldzeugmeister (FZM) Kolowrat with his personal adjutant. There is one pic with a primaris marine for scale purposes.
Next up are the two divison commanders. Generalmajor (GM) Rottermund and Generalmajor Jurczik. Also there are the Flügeladjutanten / Aide-de-Camps (ADCs).

Lastly I finished the wound markers. In FoG:N no casualties are removed but units receive wound / cohesion markers instead for a variety of situations. Like receiving fire. Fighting in melee. Having friends rout / break. Having friendly cavalry rush through them. etc.
A unit with no cohesion markers counts as steady, with one marker as disorders, with two markers as wavering and once they receive 3 markers they break and start retreating. Broken troops can be rallied. But this is quite hard if you are not happening to be Napoleon himself. And once a rally attempt fails (or receives a fourth marker) the unit will rout and is removed from play.
