Ok, I have what was called a "corps" in the SYW consisting of a Bn of Hanover Infantry w/Bn Gun, a squadron of Hanover Dragoons, a company of Light Horse (Carabiners) & a company of foot Carabiners dispatched to dislodge the French from the crossroads of a small village.
The French have the Bn of Grenadiers Royaux de Solar & 2 squadrons of Dampierre Line Cavalry. The 11 regiments of the Grenadiers Royaux were made up of the grenadier companies stripped from the French militia battalions (there were 107 of them) at the start of the war - normally, infantry grenadiers are a Rep 5, but since these came from militias these should be Rep 4, right? (Line Infantry Rep 4 - 1 for Militia + 1 for Guard or Grenadier = Rep 4). It has never occurred to me that militias would have grenadiers.
