    To me it's all an army. I guess I do think of the units in terms of companies, but I tend to look at it as a bulk item. For example, my spears are just "my spears", not "nine companies of spears".

    I'll try thinking of it like that tonight though. Wonder if it'll change anything.

    Unit. Army.

    Perhaps multiple artillery pieces would be a 'Battery'.

    It's simple, but it works.

    Then again, I'm only loosely part of the community.

    It is quite variable and it depends on the nationality of the army. Try this article here:

    Thanks for the link, Gorm, but I've done the reading.

    I was mainly looking to see if anybody else was as big a nerd about their units as I was, really.

    One sword, at least, thy right shall guard!
    One faithful harp shall praise thee!

    erm basically its not really important.

    but still to me, any stack no matter how big is an army.

    a unit is a unit.

    I'm more guilty of thinking in terms of "Left, Center, Right, Reserves, Ranged, arty, etc..." than what a collection of any given unit would be.
