In the historical OOB, Uxbridge commands all of the Anglo-Dutch cavalry as a corps commander {level 3}. Under this are the division level formation called brigades {level 4}, e.g. the Union Brigade which contained three brigade echelon formations called Regiments {level 5} (1st, 2nd and 6th Regiments of Dragoons), each of which has 3 squadrons (fighting units level 6). The Dutch Cavalry division consisted of the 3 brigades listed in the previous post. In the game OOB they are simply additional Brigades under command of Uxbridge as was historically correct. If we included the Dutch division CO, he could only have been at the corps level and therefore his troops would not have been under the command of Uxbridge. The imperfect solution was to keep the three brigades of Dutch cavalry under Uxbridge and omit de Collaert who just did not fit into the echelon structure of our files. -Jim
