Field of Battle series for the Napoleonic Era (2 Viewers)

If the Almighty wants to get colorfully creative, he's already shown an interest in the Mameluke troops and Africa has to be one of his favorite subjects by now, sooo... how about the Battle of the Pyramids!! a young Napoleon and his French Demi Brigades in squares in the Shadow of the Pyramids fighting off the fearsome masses of Mameluke horseman. Now a charge like that would be spectacularly colorful, not to mention Camel troops on both sides.
Those same troops he would later incorporate into his personel bodyguards and would also save the day at, I can't remember which battle, were one of his marshall's (Devout?) led a desperate cavalry charge of all the troops he could pull together including the Mamelukes to save the day?
Anybody know which battle I'm thinking about?

I will believe that most, if not all of collectors of K&C NAPs would have studied the Napoleonic period & wars ... in greater breath than the Battle of Waterloo.

Aside from the British and the Prussians ... the Austrians and Russians were very much in it from the start. If Andy is inclined to play it safe with more colorful uniforms ... then an expansion to include the Austrians and Russians will be just as well received.

Even the early French uniforms provide some interesting schemes, I've always loved the early French infantry uniforms with, I'm not sure the proper names but the big black banana hats and the red striped white trousers and large old guard style mustaches.
