Danish army : from the old "empire" rules, it would seem they were not as good as the sweden ( and really how good were the sweden, even if they fought some wars ...), but not far from them .

@ MikeHorah : as in the 1812 russian army you enable the russian to have mixed corps infantry, grenadier and guard there should be no problems . The russian guard formed one corps on it's own with the combined grenadier batallions and were not mixed with other corps ...

So one could say that we mix divisions , a division being a corps ( so you would not need a huge table ....)

- Avant Garde : 3 bataillons of "carabinier" , or light infantry ( 5 companies of +/- 130 men per bataillon ) + a hussard squadron
- 2 brigades of each 3 infantry regiments of, it seems, 2 bataillons each , each bataillon of 5 companies of +/- 130 .
A light Dragoon regiment ( 520 men ) in the division .

Did'nt they Danes do something in Germany in 1809ish along with some Dutch troops, something to do with a rebellion in Westphalia
