When using this option how many skirmish stands are created by the removal of the two standard bases?

Allen – The example on page 16 is breaking down an entire 4 stand unit into skirmish bases. There is an optional rule (bottom of page 74) that allows a six stand unit, such as a rifle unit in the Peninsula Army List, to deploy two stands as skirmishers to assist other units while the parent rifle unit fights as a four stand unit. I was wondering if this produced skirmish stands for only two other units or is it more than that? I suppose a parallel question is after you detach the two bases does the four stand unit continue to have an SK3 rating or is that reduced to SK2?

You take away two bases and replace them with two SK markers.

The parent unit retains its inherent SK value.

I stand corrected! As Sam says, then.
