We have again a 'full issue', covering, at length, many subjects, which, unfortunately, forced us to delay the publication of many articles and columns like the War of 1812, etc. We have, unfortunately, to do it in almost every issue. We have a backlog of many article! (including some of mine!) we intend to publish as soon as possible. In this issue, page 58, one can find the story and original receipe of the "Chicken Marengo" (Poulet Marengo) authored by my wife at the request of several readers and contributors like John Koontz. History has many aspects. We also started to take a look at casualties this time at the battle of Ebelsberg (pages 31-42). Casualties are a neglected subject for which very little reliable data is available (see page 43) and which we'll continue to investigate in our next issue. John Koontz (pages 47-54), as usual, treats us with great details on the unanswered question of d'Erlon's attack formations at Waterloo which was raised in EEL 74. The article will be published as a series. Very interesting is George Nafziger's also much detailed article on Prussian article also to be published as a series of two articles. We should not forget Paddy Griffith's comments on past issues of EEL and continued analysis of tactics, shock and firepower. The importance of tactics for us miniatures wargamers always eager to move our troops in realistic formations is recognized by Paddy and pointed out by Hans Karl Weiss (page 56). May I point out here that, most of the times, when we disagree in our debates, we disagree in degrees rather than in principles and the subject of tactics is an obvious example.
