It was time I switch to Napoleonic theme. I know it is one of the favourite by the most. Here I wanted to give an idea how it would appear an attack on a village, held by 4 (downgraded) Russian battalions. As usual, the ratio 1:1 provides a spectacular effect; I used around (just) 700/1000 papersoldiers.
I prepared another 3 squadrons Dragoons Regiment of the French Army at the Battle & Siege of Turin in Summer 1706. They fought at the Battle on foot. This unit has very little number of musicians but 4 Aides de Camps. They look very elegant in their green-red lining uniforms.
Régiment Dragons HAUTEFORT - 271 men
1 Colonel
1 Lieutenant Colonel
4 Aides de Camps
3 Oboists
6 Drummers
10 Captains
3 Guidons-bearers
10 Lieutenants
5 Cornettes
26 NCO
199 Dragons
Visually, they the Regiment looks this way:

The Bozelli Dragons Regiment was the only Regiment of Dragoons on 2 squadrons at the Battle of Turin. The cornette (flag) I did is from the Bozelli Family of Bergamo, where this unit was originally raised. The distinctive colours of this Regiment was possible to achieve thanks to the fact that in 1707 it went to Spain and I got info about their uniforms.
Fot my 1:1 Ratio unit I opted hence for:
165 Papersoldiers (so men) on 2 squadrons:
1 Colonel
1 Lieutenant Coloneld
2 Aides de Camps
8 Drummers
3 Oboists
2 Commanders of Squadron
5 Captains
2 Stendard-bearers
6 Lieutenant
(No cornette)
20 NCO
117 dragoons
