Irregular Troops

[ady2650]

thanks for replies guys-- i was just looking at possibilities in relation to using cossacks ontable.i dont want them to be cast aside say like persian levies etc as points wise cheap but not effective so not used gamerwise.When historically they were at the battles in a very definite sideline and afterbattle role though I do agree.I smiled when i saw in one description that the cossacks were ordered to police the kalmucks/bashkirs etc from harassing civilians etc Only a russian staff officer could devise that one.
Also i suppose i want to pose both problems and advantages for Allied generals with mixed arms commands within lower level brigade commands ontable 1812-15 too

When my cossacks start to enfilade battle lines they have to be dealt with bud

What do you guys think about Landwehr cavalry /lance armed? notoriously not used to the weapon so either drop the lancer rating altogether or reduce HtH by 1, unreliable????? also landwher infantry tend to balance the unrelaiable with being in attack column?
