Campaign Leipzig - Adjust regiments from the National Cohorts

Post by Christian Hecht »

Good day gentlemen,
I strongly suggest a little correcting to some of the new French regiments that came from originally from the National Cohorts.
A part of them took heavy casualties in the Spring campaign, and these were more or less refilled for the Autumn campaign. I can only assume that the men for this refill were new recruits as everything else was more or less already utilized for the Spring campaign.
Now, my suggestion is to change the weapon type for the following regiments to T Cons.Musket:
136 III Corps
138 III Corps
139 III Corps
140 III Corps
141 III Corps
142 III Corps
144 III Corps
145 III Corps
These were all regiments in Ney's III Corps, that corps that took the brunt of the fighting at Lützen and likely had to carry most of the French casualties at Lützen. Having them filled up with recruits for the Autumn campaign justifies the different(worse) weapon type.
Any comments?
