Having just read Dr Chris Storr's works on Savoy and The Spanish Army of Lombardy, I am finding difficulty reconciling the army lists to the history. The Savoy list allows 20 bases of cavalry. The spanish in Italy allows only 8. Storr's work suggest that the cavalry number available to the Spanish was usually more numerous as that available to the Savoyards.

Worthwhile References on army size.
