I listed Moreau with the 6 emblem guys because he costs 6

I listed you (Jean Lannes ) with the 8 emblem guys because you cost 8

And you forgot Washington/ Pierre-Charles Villeneuve.

Blasiuin tier-1 with Spy and Formation is also great.

And you forgot Savary who is a big opponent of Sulkowski.

I've personally found Yermolov to be underwhelming, and Ushakov is only average as Artillery

Yermolov appeared in 1806.
