Mixed Nationality Corps 1813-1814

[Model]

Some questions about this army option:

1) What's the Initiative Level for this Army? Maybe 2, or depending on the Corps Commander's Nationality?

2) Terrain Option is France and Central Europe?

Thanks and regards from Spain.

1) I believe the Initiative Level is based on who is the Corps Commander,
eg, if your Corps Commander is Prussian its 3, if Russian its 2, if Austrian its 1, and if Swedish its 0.

2) Yes, France and Central Europe.

Correct on both points.
You have an interesting choice of Cocrps Commander based upon whether or not you'd prefer to attack or defend.

I'm a 1/3 of the way through this army.

Can I just clear up a point, for the Divisions picked towards the Mixed Corp. Is it right that you can disregard the minnum troops while picking the core troops for the Division hope this makes sense.

Not really.

All minima are reduced to zero - but you can only choose from the 'core' units - i.e. you cannot choose units from the 'optional' section in the lists.

Sorry i did only mean the core but you've answered it completely.

The exception being the British Low Countries Division? The Prussians can have a Corps with a British Division and this unit can have an optional KGL Hussar unit.

The reduction of minima to zero and the restriction of only using core troops only applies to the mixed nationality corps described on p.88 ToN (i.e. a corps containing at least three nationalities made up of divisions from the corps listed on p.88). It would not apply to a Prussian Corps containing a single British Division in 1814 or any other corps containing a single division from another list (i.e. Austrians with Bavarians or visa-versa). In these cases you apply the minima in the exporting list (reduced as per p.159 if the exporting list is for a whole corp, rather than single division) applicable to the type of division being imported (i.e cavalry, infantry etc...). You can choose optional troops from the exporting list (again subject to any reduction on maxima required by p.159).
