Dear Steve
I wrote a book upon the Russian Militia of the Napoleonic Wars. Within it there is a breakdown of the unit sizes.
Moscow Opolchenie consisted of
3 Jager Regts of 4 Bns, 8 Foot Regts (mainly pike armed), 1 battery giving a total of 34867 men [p28]
Each Regiment had 3-4 Bns of 4 coys each of 150 men. So the theortical strength of a battalion was 600 men.
The Moscow Militia was split into three Division in August 1812.
e.g.
1st Moscow Opolchenie Division (12 August 1812)
I-IV/1st Jäger Regiment GM Demidov 32/131/1910
I-IV/2nd Foot IR GM Odoevskoi 22/176/2143 29/60/2007
I-IV/4th Foot IR ? ? 37/10/2400
I-IV/6th Foot IR GM Lopukhin 39/50/2050 42/9/1850
