Re: Blueprint for my Russian division

Gunfreak,

The most usual Cavalry was the Hussars, who were attached as some kind of brigade mostly because of the huge size of them. Most of those hussar regiments had 6 to 8 squadrons each. Dragons and the others were grouped in Cavalry Divisions.

Hope that helps

Re: The thorny subject of GUARDS
