Is there a Russian member (anyone with access to good info on the Russian army) that could help me with the strengths of the Russian army contingent that fought with the Duke of York in the Holland campaign of 1799?

I especially need accurate troop numbers for the Russian troops. The British are covered rather well in the account I have.

Message me here if interested. It would be a great help.

(note: I cannot buy any books so info would have to be provided to me ... I can compensate you with a copy of one of my future game releases)

Thanks Al, good general info but not specific enough. The squadron count for the cavalry will be useful ;)

One of the OB links above you posted works. Thanks!

Russian forces - 24 September 1799 http://usacac.army.mil/CAC2/CGSC/CARL/n ... 799IMH.PDF

Russian forces - 7 October 1799 http://usacac.army.mil/CAC2/CGSC/CARL/n ... 799JMD.pdf

I thought I had gone through all of Naf's OB links. Missed that one.

The big problem with the Russians for this campaign is that the British were writing the history. Thus the British got the lionshare (pun) of the detail while the Russians are often listed as just "Infantry regiment" with no troop count.
