I made this post so long ago, I almost forgot the point.
Oh yes, now I remember... the idea of a recreation was that we take a historic map (either one that already exists or one that's easy to create) and try to enact force ratios and opponents equal to the historical engagement.
I still think it's a good idea but it sort of got lost in the shuffle with testing for the mod and such. That said, I'd still like to do something along this line.
Hmm... I wonder if we can organize something for the anniversary for Borodino...
