Notes:
- Prussian Divisional Cavalry:
I decided to treat the Prussian Divisional Cavalry regiments in the same way
as I treated the Austrian ones. The only instance that comes to mind of
when they were used as an independent strike force was at the Battle of
Nachod.
- Prussian Artillery:
The ratings and such for the Prussian artillery are courtesy of Martin
Soillieux-Cardwell.
They are posted on this website along with the
deployment restrictions. I plan on using them in my campaigns and scenarioes.
- Prussian IIIrd Corps?!:
I decided to give von Mansteins command its Corps number because it was for
all intents and purposes it was one.
