That means of the 151 total battalions, 33.7% of the total are militia.<br /><br />France 36%<br />Saxony 24%<br />Brunswick 31%<br />Hesse Kassel 14%<br />Hesse Darmstadt 44%<br />Prussia 33.7%<br />Hannover 20.5%<br /><br />Overall 381 field battalions and 183 militia = 564 or 32.4%<br /><br />To use your example, with 4.5 field battalions (not counting the depot troops), you should have 1.5 militia battalions using the average of 32.4% as above.<br /><br />But of course, it is YOUR imagi-nation and you are free to do with it as you will. :^)<br /><br />Good gaming,<br /><br />Jim<br />ColCampbell50https://www.blogger.com/profile/15910423749022189030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-26071338185678336602013-11-13T01:38:35.252-08:002013-11-13T01:38:35.252-08:00Several historical 'volunteers' units were...Several historical 'volunteers' units were allowed to choose their uniforms, since they paid for it (and for their horses if mounted): if wished so this would justify a squadron in 'flashy' glamorous uniform (people wealthy enough to pay for an expensive uniform would serve as cavalry).abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.com
