Sam: When doing the math for converting historical OOBs to La Salle, it appears that some forces, i.e. French and Austrians at the start of the 1809 campaign will have larger units than "Lasalle Standard".
Have you experienced any issues during playtesting which arise if some units are eight bases, or three bases, or an odd number of bases?
For large forces that would be 8 bases from the OOB, I believe it should be broke down in to two 4 base units.
I would agree with that assessment. My understanding is that you should combine smaller units to make proper unit sizes, so splitting larger forces to make proper unit sizes makes sense.
There's no such thing as an 8-base unit in Lasalle. The "Large" unit should cover just about everything except the very biggest Austrian or French Guard cavalry regiments, which would be best broken into two.
Or a few special units, such as the Prussian Anbach-Bayreuth (5th) Dragoons, which in 1806 were a double-strength regiment. In fact, they were broken into two groups and used in different places in that battle.
OK. I just redid the math using 175 men per stand, and nothing comes out higher than 6 stands, plus a fraction. French still end up being 4 stands.
It was a stupid question.
