I wanted some sort of command system to be an important part of my 1809 games. Of course, commander-in-chief bases were a must and I was planning to have fun with them. I wanted ADCs galloping about all over the place (see Post 50), and certainly to have figures of commanders at corps level but perhaps division level as well. All commanders would be mounted on round bases which, I planned, would be of different sizes to signify the different levels of command.
