Fifth French Army

Summary of Fifth French Corps

Both French and British generals are very good. However one French general has been graded as Poor to give the edge to the British.

The infantry of the three French corps are equal in ability.

The first infantry brigade in each corps is elite, with excellent morale and skirmish ability.

The Italian corps is weaker in all respects.

There are no class A for firing in the French, this will give the British a slight edge on firepower.

All of the French artillery have longer range than the British. But the 12 pounder has the longest range of all.

All of the cavalry are class B, so should have an edge in any cavalry engagement with the British.
