*Optional unit: Croatians appear on some Leipzig OOBs. Not sure if part of this command or not.
**Attached Cavalry: Given the general shortage of French cavalry in 1813 and hodge podge nature of the various units we have allowed ourselves the freedom to pick and choose our favorite units to paint up as whole regiments. Mostly due to our overwhelming love of cavalry, our forces will not be fielded with this historical disadvantage. :o)
Notes: In choosing Morand's Division, we were looking for a more generic command that although lacking unique units could really be used for any scenario from 1810 to 1815 that we might decide to play. In some OOBs Morand had three brigade commands, which also allows us greater flexibility and/or opportunity for expansion.
