GRAND ARMY, recently published, has provided miniatures wargamers with a set of rules making the use of large armies both technically and economically feasible. While there is a vast amount of information available for low-level unit organizations (battalion, regiment, battery, etc.) the gamer is thrown largely on his own resources if he wishes to organize a multi-division or corps "army" in a realistic fashion; the information given below should allow the gamer to do just this. There is the added advantage that the gamer can avoid both monotony and the "Old Guard syndrome" by using these historical orders-of-battle: each corps contains a variety of unit types, quality variations, and nationalities!

The information below has been prepared specifically for use with the Grand Army rules, but unit strengths can easily be determined for other sets of rules in common use by referring to the following charts:

CHART 1
Infantry
No. of Figures	Actual Unit Strength
3	60- 179
6	180- 299
9	300- 419
12	420- 539
15	540- 659
18	660- 779
21	780- 899
24	900-1019
27	1020-1139
Cavalry
No. of Figures	Actual Squadron Strength
3	30- 89
6	90- 149
9	150- 209
12	210- 269
Artillery
1 model gun = 2 actual pieces

There are some vague points in the text which may be due to lack of information in the sources or to contradictions between sources used. If any readers have clarifications, additional information, corrections or questions I would be glad to hear from them.

OOBs

Reading the OoB is a fairly simple procedure. Normally there will be two numbers following the name of each regiment engaged in the campaign:

e.g. 1st Carabiniers (4/6)
or 1st Grenadiers (2/15)

The number to the left of the slash indicates the number of battalions (or squadrons, if a cavalry unit) in the regiment, while the number to the right of the slash gives the headcount of each tactical unit (battalion or squadron).

Where a regiment comprises a single battalion the first number is normally deleted.

In the French and Prussian armies where unit strengths are more uniform, most headcounts are given in charts introducing the OoB, and only the number of tactical units per regiment is given in the OoB itself.

Occasionally the number of tactical units will be given for brigades or divisions when the composition of individual regiments is unkown:

e.g. 8th Div., Lt-Gen. Lefel (11)
