Rule System
So I have decided to go with Piquet as my rule system for the Solo campaign. I like the card driven mechanics and randomness of the system. It has a strong ability to allow a story to develope from the battle and plus the cards allow for a more random computer opponent and I don't have to manipulate the outcome so much. I've begun developing the Arnsburg army based on the amount of men they can field. Using the army percentages in the Pike and Shotte supplement for Piquet, Cartouche, the 22,338 men of Arnsburg's army 13,403 men are infantry, 6,701 men are Cavalry, and 2,234 men are artillery. That further breaks down into 22 Battalions of foot, 17 Battalions of Horse, and 10 Batteries of Artillery. I am using 600 men per Infantry Battalion, this won't add up exactly but for simplicity in the math that is what I am using, 400 men per cavalry Battalion, and 8 guns per Artiller battery. The Arnsburg army is further broken down into 18 Battalions of Foot, 3 Battalions of Grenadiers, 1 Battalion of Guards; 9 Battalions of Cuirassiers, 6 Battalions of Dragoons, 1 Guard Du Corps, and 1 Battalion of Life Guards; 5 Batteris of Medium guns and 5 Batteries of Heavy guns. This is the make up of the Arnsburg army and gives me my units exactly. I will be doing this for the other warring states.
