By the start of September, PB will be releasing update 3.3. The rules will focus on formatting, balancing, and simplifying the rules. Most significant will be changes to artillery. Howitzers will be replaced from the game, with horse artillery. If you have suggestions you want to include in the rules, you can share them here or on the Discord server. Thank you
This supplement is an expansion to add new and unique units you can field to your choice of army.
History
1805 saw Napoleon's Grande Armée march on Austria and its Russian allies. By this period, the French army had been significantly reformed under the first emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, but elements of its revolutionary heritage were still evident on the battlefield. At Austerlitz, Jena, Eylau, and even Friedland, these units, equipped with bicorns and led by 3 distinctive generals who stood out during those defining 3 years, would certainly be a sight on the battlefield.
Content
This army pack offers 14 infantry, 8 heavy infantry, 4 cannons, 4 howitzers, and 3 unique generals that can be fielded in your game.
Unique Generals include:
d'Hautpoul, The Heavy cavalry general at Austerlitz and Jena, died of wounds at Eylau
Saint-Hilaire. Hero of Austerlitz, died of wounds at Aspern
Gudin, whose infantry bore the brunt of the battle of Jena, died of wounds near Smolensk.
Once downloaded, the sheets can be printed individually as
Often as you like, which means you can build up a large
The army very cheaply. You will need scissors or a craft knife, glue, and appropriate paper, plain or cardstock, all of which are described in the Assembling Units section in the Paper Bayonet Core Rules.
The figures are laid out on 8.5x11 format, which will print onto
US legal-sized paper
I'm excited to announce the army sheets for the french have been updated with 9 unique pieces:
5 unique regiments of lancer cavalry
1 Empress Dragoons
2 mounted carabiniers
2 light infantry chasseurs
and 2 light infantry carabiniers
I hope you find enjoyment in these new pieces as I did making them.

The Paper Bayonet Rules have undergone a minor update. This fixes issues with grammar, uniformity, and correct point values for the division examples.
2 formations have been merged into phases for the purposes of keeping things organized and balanced. Grape shot and Disengagement.
Grape shot has been moved over to the artillery phase, and Disengagement has been incorporated as a move into the movement phase.
You can download the updated rules now at your discretion.
Thank you very much for bringing these to my attention, as I'm sure it will help with streamlining the rules and organization.
