I went 50/50 grenadiers and fusiliers on the first battalions as per Chartrand, with the other battalions all fusiliers and, like you, found I had quite a few left over. I ended up just putting them into a coupl f converged grenadier battalions, which soaked them up quite nicely.

But my mistake with the grenadiers has changed that and there has been a bit of creep. Now there will be 18 battalions maybe three cavalry units and four guns across both periods.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-73391855712678217102018-12-01T12:50:50.917+13:002018-12-01T12:50:50.917+13:00Very nice start to the Spanish project Mark - who ...Very nice start to the Spanish project Mark - who many units are planned in this force?rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-11705736336019521492018-12-01T12:15:11.257+13:002018-12-01T12:15:11.257+13:00Thank you Iain.
