There is a lot of literature detailing what military units exsted at the time. I'm not putting CA down for the game,but they sure can afford to research this properly. I just wish they would look to things like total realism for inspiration rather than make things up.
And I think you'll find that CA's historical research puts EB's (or any well meaning TW players for that matter) to great shame. See CA has never said what kind of historical texts/knowledgable persons they draw upon to make there units for the TW games.
