Posted 24 Jan 2008
Phase 4 of my 1817-18 Chilean Project is the Battle of Maipo (5 Apr 1818).
Phase 4a: Patriot
By Phase 4 we've just got to round out the Patriot army with some more artillery.

I am using a slightly different Orbat to Fletcher (2005) based on thoughts on the Cazadores a Caballo:
| Current Orbat | Suggested replacement |
|---|---|
|
1 Squadron Argentine Cazadores a Caballo (120-regular) 1 Squadron Chilean Escolta Cazadores a Caballo (119-regular) |
1 Squadron Argentine Cazadores a Caballo de la Escolta del General (120-regular) 1 Squadron Chilean Caballeria Cazadores de la Escolta Directorial (119-regular) |
Phase 4b: Royalists
No new units.
