As most regiments have 8-10 companies an element cannot be a company. I have not figured out how to determine how strong (in men) these elements are. Company strengths varied per nation.
The limit of four elements per regiment seems to suggest each element is two companies for Brit, American and French regiments, and one company for German regiments, with Grenadiers and light companies detached into separate battalions where appropriate. Certain oddball ten company regiments would be a problem.
How do I determine the strength in men of these elements?
I know it wont be changed for BoA1, but will the number of elements per unit be increased for BoA2 to allow for more accurate TOE representation of regiments, and also show their strength in men via tooltip?
