Are there any cases the army books coming out where a Russian Corps could have an allied Austrian division?

Russians lists that can have an Austrian allied division:
Russian Army in Italy and Switzerland 1799-1800 (book 3)
Russian Army of Austria 1805 (books 3)
Russian Infantry Corps 1813-1814 (book 2)

The more interesting question is are there any situations where a Russian army would WANT an Austrian Division!

That would be all one of them (in the current list!)
Also large average conscript units are amazingly resilient if handled carefully. Hoping for something interesting for the Austrians in the lists (ie at least TWO grenadier units) though the historical argument for it probably isn't that good!

Historically the Austrian Grenadies were in one of two divisions. So you go from none to bunches.
Exception would tbe italian theater but i need to check that out to be sure.
