Scots covenant list-minor error

[Schnockel]

I noticed on the list for the foot regiments 1642-1649, the maximum number of total bases doesn't match the total bases for the two possible types (poor or average). Basically, is the maximum number of average bases supposed to be 48 or is the total number of pike/shot bases supposed to be 156?

If this is posted to the wrong place I most sincerely apologize.

Surprised that hasn't been flagged before - mind you, not even Dave Allen is dull enough to use that many dour Covenanters ...

Not sure what it is supposed to be either will make some arbitrary decision for the next errata.

Actually, I recalled where the list drafting discussions were and had a look.

I suspect that the number for the Average and Poor troops for the 1642-49 section should be the same as the pre-1642 or in Ireland section - i.e. 0-60 Average and 18-120 Poor. The difference between the periods is an improvement in equipment in Scots armies meaning that regiments are more likely to achieve something like 2:1 musket:pike (and we have, for simplicity, assumed that the better equipped units have better morale hence the Musket troops are Average at this time and the Poor ones Musket*).

The more complex alternative is that there should have been a line for Average Musket* equipped units which was accidentally omitted and these would number 0-24.
