I found these articles on the Early Modern Warfare Society actually while doing some research on Conde & Turenne and the Musket and Pike board game series.

Hi Ray, As you may know there was no Corps of artillery drivers during Marlborough's Campaigns. The civilian contractors that served the artillery were known to disappear when action was expected. Suggest you recruit a couple of Sgts with half-pikes from the line to keep an eye on those doubtful con...

Yep, that's part of what I'm mulling over. Formations that are very small require the same amount of sculpting as those of large formations, but could be on the edge of being cost effective to do.

Interesting discussion, would love to see them produced.
