La Garde 6mm: Rules for Napoleonic grand tactical battles in 6mm.
The concept is to give "grand order". That is to give orders to corps & divisional commanders, not to order a single battalion.
It is considered that a divisional or brigade commander ordered to take defensive positions will form his troops in square by himself if the need was to arise ...
An original system with tokens is used to resolve combats.
Dice are used to determine reinforcements entry times and duration of the battle.
The goal is to break the enemy morale, not just inflicting casualties.
