Hello all, I've been working on regiment sizes. For now, we're going with largely historical-ish numbers, but this may be subject to change.
A French Infantry Regiment Consisted of:
2 Grenadier Brigades (1600 soldiers)
4 Fusilier Brigades (3200 soldiers)
1 Skirmisher Brigade (800 soldiers)
A French Hussar and Dragoon Regiment each had 8 companies (each having a little over 100 men)
An artillery regiment often had about 200 guns in total... but they were usually only used for organizational purposes. Often, they were split up into batteries and deployed in various parts of the world. For example, a regiment had about 50 batteries. 20 of them would be in France for defense, 10 in Spain for defense, 5 in Austria to help with operations there, 4 in Prussia, 5 in the Middle east as a whole, and the last 6 were joining Napoleon's campaign into Russia.
Thus, I kinda extrapolated numbers to try to encourage our regiments to support each other. Thus, the size of regiments in this RP is the following:
Line Infantry Regiment: 3000 men
Grenadier Regiment: 1500 men
Skirmisher Regiment: 1000 men
Militia: 4000 men
Cavalry/Mounted Regiments: 900 men
Artillery: 2 Batteries (Each Battery having 6 guns), so 12 guns and associated men and logistics/supply
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, then please feel free to reach out!
