Hi Terry, Thanks for the update. However as it stands, you cannot mix Cuirassiers with Dragoons, but you can mix Carabiniers with Dragoons...and light cavalry! It should read "Shock Cavalry" instead of Cuirassiers. I still often refer to shock cavalry as cuirassiers out of habit. Apparent...

I agree that you cannot make the (historical) 11th division with a mix of dragoons and cuirassiers when using the lists, but as we state on page 110: "The usual rules for the creation of divisions will of course be discarded, with the actual orders of battle (OOB) being used to create an histo...

The "target" troop to base ratio for cavalry is 165 troopers (i.e., 55 men per figure) yet it seems that the minimum / maxima has been determined by 1 real cavalry regiment = 4 bases (except for the 2 carabinier regiments as the maximum number of bases for the carabiniers is 6 bases). III...

Hy grognard , There were no mixed dragoons and cuirassiers divisions, but one mixed corps with a drgoon division and a cruirassiers division . I would read the list limitation as , the division must either be cuirassier, either dragoons, either light as it was historical . From rereading quickly th...

Which gets me back to the first part of my original question. Should the "Special Instruction" on page 128 read, "Heavy cavalry and Light Cavalry..." vice the current statement of "Cuirassiers, Dragoons and Light cavalry..." ? This would allow you to field a division co...

I have edited my post in order to clarify as I missed a 'return' initially.

The question is in regards to the Special Instructions for creating a Reserve Cavalry Corps force, not the actual ORBAT.

Ref: French Reserve Cavalry Corps, Armee du Nord 1815 (pp 128-129) The explanation talks about the four different types of reserve Corps, but then it suddenly drops to "three types". The special instructions state, "Cuirassiers, Dragoons and Light Cavalry must not be mixed within the ...

Ah! Thanks Andy. This is where I went wrong: The minimum number of bases of each troop type applies to the whole of your army (i.e. a corps), not to each division within the army. I got confused as I was looking at the lists and went off applying it to each division. So as you pointed out here: Ther...

In "Triumph of Nations", it states that for an Anglo-Netherlands Army all infantry divisions (except Brunswick & Dutch-Belgian) must contain one British 'unit' AND one Hanovarian 'unit'. Does this mean that if using British infantry as the core, then I can ignore the minimum bases requ...
