During this period armies are shown always organised in a First and Second Line, each line having left and right wings, usually of cavalry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army camps reflect exactly this organisation, with troops lined according to their expected place in battle. The two lines are normally resting on a well defended geographical feature, like a ravine, a town or something similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drawing below shows an example of a camp. The scale should is not in paces, to bring it in accordance with other maps from Cogswell, it seems to be in some unit where a scale of 100 equals to 200 paces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-18-at-19.35.01-1024x673.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34900\" width=\"840\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-18-at-19.35.01-1024x673.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-18-at-19.35.01-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-18-at-19.35.01-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-18-at-19.35.01.jpg 1138w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lines seem to be separate by 400-500 paces one from each other, with each battalion occupying a front of about 200 paces, with the cavalry troops occupying a slightly larger space. The Grenadiers seem to be residing with the rest of the battalions, unless explicitly organised in separate battalion of 5-6(?) companies. This appears to be less frequent an usually there in no mention of grenadier battalions in the army camp arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The artillery park usually sits separate from these two lines in a rectangular arrangement. Headquarters seemed to be hosted in a nearby village. Looking at the Reichsarmee stats, the battalion guns assigned to the first line was generally composed of four guns per battalion, instead of two. In a game I would then assign one additional light gun model every two battalions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes these camps are fortified by the means of &#8220;bastions&#8221;, probably built of earth and gabions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I plan to build some tents, probably arranged in a linear fashion. I would imagine that 20cm x 7.5 cm should be good to host four tents. Two such bases might be tents for one battalion. I will use Peter Dennis Paperboys&#8217; tents for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I plan to build a few tent bases for my armies, based from the maps from Neil Cogswell&#8217;s books.
