I would be grateful for any pointers to referenced French orbats,, for the commencement of the 1812 campaign, which show command structure (at least to divisional level) as well as regimental units, and cites sources (i.e. something like Lieven's in his Russia against Napoleon). Chandler, in his campaigns, cites R G Burton. But checking Burton, I find it quite light and thus wonder where Chandler's detail came from. There is a detailed Borodino orbat at http://www.napolun.com/mirror/napoleonistyka.atspace.com/French_Russian_order_of_battle_Borodino.htm but without sources, so I am reluctant to refer to it - and of course being only Borodino, it omits the campaign flanks. I've searched for George Nafziger's orbats but the US Army, to whom he donated them, seem to have removed them.
