   Wow thanks for that,

   To start with if I'm going o build a peninsular core and organic light cav support should I just do VI corps + light cav brigade? And if so which would you mark as conscript and which as vets?

   Thanks again

   Hi John Paul,

   My plans are similar to yours, although they are always being revised.

   Here is a link to my planned Lasalle French Army, a good chunk of it is done, as you can see the Core is indeed based on the VI Corps: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2wNi1BpxnTU/TAWyBe_Lk8I/AAAAAAAABNw/4EZFUbgn3n4/s1600/French+Lasalle.jpg

   As you can see, to build the light cavalry bde, you need some units from the Army of the North as well as the the Army of Portugal.

   Good Luck,

   John

   Thanks All Interesting reading,

   So If I do the VI Corps I would be better off doing a conquest army as reports suggest they were all Vets, My core would represent the 1st and 2ed Division the Vet Inf Support would be 3rd Division and my light Cav would be the Cav Brigade (stretching it a little with the cav)?

   Thanks
