Thanks,

Here is a slight graphic rework of units for France and Russia (I think its now quite close to the final version)
Any comments are welcomed as usual.

Would there be a need for the XXX Corps Infantry units?
I would reckon that the Corps formations would be represented by HQ's and the fighting units would consist of Brigades and Divisions.

Sipres, I love these land units! They look very elegant and therefore fit perfectly with the Napoleonic scenario.

Only one small note: The symbol for the garrison, in contrast to all other signs, looks a little bit set. Have you ever tried to make the center of the stylized fort in the respective counter color, in the basic color of the bright crosswise stripes or in total dark?

Surely only a matter of personal preference: The presentation of the maritime units in your Hi-Res mod is fantastic. Something comparable would probably match very well with the bright stripes of the land units. Your current "countercut" may result in a bit too much "3D" unit. Just a thought...

Thanks Konstantin, I may change navies to Hex shape, will see
Any suggest for an icon I could add instead of the "militia" text?

I would just keep it simple and plausible. The crossed pistols with the "P" are partisans, so crossed pistols with some (more) darkened/transparent stripes behind them may represent the militia. In both cases, armed civilians rather than line soldiers. The partisans behind and the militia in the back room in front of the enemy lines...

The HQ units got only defense capabilities (you cant change the attack parameters in editor)
So the core unit for the Mod will be infantry corps, some divisions and brigades will still be available to strengthen the OOB's and to reflect some special units.

So the entire French 1805 OOB would consist of 7 Infantry Corps, Napoleon HQ and a few other units.
