Czar Alexander, Prussian King, Austrian Emperor were all on the fields, following their armies and most of times negatively interferring with Coalition commanders during the 1813 Campaign.
Guess these three figures, already represented in NCP units/models database could be added to 1813 campaigns.....may be with "links" to random events representing the "interference" they had over Coalitions plans.......That in the future, in so far I did not yet practiced with events: a quite complex matter, indeed!

At plesent I could just add them for historical colour.......

I'm interested to get news, from historical data, over the regiments or squadrons, usually small elite units, that were escorting the Czar, the Prussian King, the Austrian Emperor at that time... usually a sort of elite life-guard units.

Thank you in advance

Hi jastaV. After a few search, found this

Czar Alexander made his triumphal entry into Paris at 11 am (1814). Alexander was in the van of the Allied host, accompanied by King Frederick William III and a Cossack Guard Escort

In the game there are Guard Cossacks

In the game there are more guard units for the russian and prussian armies, perhaps depending of the situation the escort could be different. Napoleon besides of his Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard, had duty squadrons that were rotatory. I could not find guard units in the austrian.


Edit: is there a problem with png files? The pic of the guard cossacks is not visible

It is, but not for all Some users are experiencing problems displaying attached images inline, and we have not been able to figure out yet

My search on the net evidenced that most leib-guard and personnel escort units of Czar, Kaiser (Austrian Emperor) and King of Prussia were actually on the battlefield of Leipzig, but attached to reserve and guard Corps.
examples are:

1st Hussar Regiment Hungary: Kaiser Franz leib-guard
Kaiser Franz 1. Kuirassier Regiment: Kaiser Franz leib-guard

Prussian 1st and 2nd Life Hussars: Friedrich Wilhelm III leib-guards

Lifeguard Preobrazhensk: Tzar Alexander Leib-gvardii

Guess if the Czar, Kaiser (Austrian Emperor) and King of Prussia are to be added should be attached to Schwarzenberg Army HQ, formally the ovell HQ for the Coalition.
