95th - Napoleonic newby question

[crinklechips]

I have no knowledge of Napoleonic history but I decided to give 95th a go.  I’m glad I did, it looks good.  Unfortunately my complete lack of knowledge leaves me staring at the tokens with a blank look on my face.



So we have troops conveniently colour coded.  Thank goodness!  Can you explain who is who using the colours please?

Also, I can’t get my head around not being the leader of a group.  How does this work?  Does the leader have to be a higher rep than you like when your star is leading? What happens when your rep goes up?  

In the campaign ‘August 1808’ here is your band.


You are Pinkerton (of course!).  Who is the leader?

Thank you in advance.

Oh and there are two types of blue tokens. One with a saber. Cheers!

Red = Brits Red coat, 95th Green coat

Brown = Ports

Grey = French Legere

Blue = French line, with sword – Chasseurs a Cheval

Green = Guerrillas

Yellow = Civilians

White = Spanish


Leader - That'd be 1st guy on the list. Want a new unit, the leader is first guy rolled up. Easy peasy. FYI - Be a Corporal ASAP!
