ORIGINAL: BloodyBill76 For the French they would all have the same weapon for the most part. Voltigeurs would be used as the skirmish company for the Battalion and Grenadiers were used as the breaking force during a melee. I was just wondering if the battalion sent out skirmishers would they be volts? Can the separate companies wear the appropriate uniform or will it be a generic uniform? quote:

ORIGINAL: BloodyBill76 I see from Diary #3 that the battalions are broke into companies. Will these companies reflect the historical counterparts. Will there be a Grenadier,Line,Line,Line,Line,Voltigeur. set up to them? Quick question, and please excuse my ignorance regarding Nap era configurations: How would Grenadier and Voltigeur companies distinguish themselves from 'normal' battalion companys when the only offensive weapon available to infantry is musket fire? IOW, if I design an SR1 (1:1 sprite ratio) mod how would these companys behave differently to represent the battalion realistically? Oops, forgot to answer your question. No, battalion is the smallest unit, but they are designed to 'look' like they they have company units. Still, you can detach smaller skirmish units that can be controlled separately or left to their own devices, primarily, skirmishing. Sorry, gotta run, but a quick answer is that the uniforms question is easily doable, the skirmish company no prob but user controlled, and maybe the melee thing with a skill level boost for that company. I'll get back to this discussion later. Have a good day!
