So I got the rules today, beutifull book.
I know the game used 18 figure battalions, but mine are 24, so I thought of lots of ways to do this, but then I came upon an idea, and the rules confermed it, just say the unit is 18 strong, ignore the 6 extra figures, they are purley estetic.
Does that sound it's going to work, or is the extra base going to give battalions to much frontage compeard to the ranges of muskets ect.
I don't think so, since the rules let you use many diffrent base sizes.
So my 4.5times 4 bases is 18 cm, while a 3 base unit of 60mm frontage is also 18cm.
My second question is more a historical thing, I'm wondering how to rate certain units.
I'm working on this British brigade
Sir William Clifton's Regiment of Foot
The Welch Regiment of Fusiliers
Sir Edward Dering's Regiment of Foot
Scots Fusiliers
The Earl of Bath's Regiment of Foot
Are any of these known to be worthy of elite statues? or should all be drilled?
I'm also wondering of the french and allies.
My first brigade will be the 3 battalions of De la Reine since this is the queens regiment, should they be elite or is it just a fancy name?
Some units I do think might actualy be elite is the Irish brigade,
Dorrington's Regiment
Clare's Regiment
Lee's Regiment
Should one or more of these be elite?
