I don't know BP well enough to help you with those rules, however I cooked up some ideas for Napoleon at War, which somebody may be able to translate across for you.
The structure in N@W is that you choose a division type, which you populate with particular brigades, which in turn contain a certain mix of units. The unit data is at the end.
If you need clarification feel free to ask.

Persian Units and Characteristics
Items marked as [Unique unit] means there can be only one such unit per army.
Tribal troops take DTs for complex moves as Raw, regardless of their actual grade, Tribal Lancers count only one dice of 6 as a double hit in close combat. Tribal troops that have the option to Evade, Retreat or if gunners seek refuge with infantry friends must if they want to stand to receive a charge pass an ET – if they fail they must Evade, Retreat or seek shelter and pass an ET to avoid losing a base.
Tribal infantry in bad terrain, behind a stream/river or in a BUA/outskirts are not required to test to stand against a charge.
If a Force contains only Tribal troops at the point it must take a Force Morale Test instead of taking a collective test each unit dices separately to abandon the table and last of all the general himself takes the test – his failure now does not itself dispurse the force.
Tribal troops in a force mixed with others that must take a Force Morale Test obey a failed result as usual, if the test is passed each Tribal units now take their own test to avoid abandoning the Table.
Zamburaks count as Horse Artillery, Light Guns with no howitzers, all count as Fickle Fire, Zamburaks move and treat terrain as Cavalry. Can and Must attempt to Evade if charged (but don't have to dice an ET to lose bases). Zamburaks don't obey the usual rules for limbering, unlimbering, they never count as limbered but can simply move about the place and fire. Any move of more than 2 counts as ‘movement' for shooting dice penalty.
Zamburaks C/D, 2-4 bases, Tribal, Fickle Fire
Court Zamburaks C/D 2-4 bases, Tribal, Fickle Fire
Guard Zamburaks [Unique Unit] B/D 2-5 bases, Tribal, Fickle Fire, Guard
After c.1810 Court and Guard Zamburaks can drop the Tribal classification.
Ghulams, B/D, Guard, Battle Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Impetuous, Tribal
Ghulam – Toffangchi [Unique Unit] – C/D, Guard, Battle Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Tribal, Dragoons, – When dismounted, Limited Light Infantry, Jagers, 2 SKr
Dragoons, these can if not committed Dismount or Remount to change between infantry and cavalry. Such a unit can not charge in the turn it dismounts or remounts. Dismounting counts as movement in that turn for shooting dice penalty. Dismounted troops count shooting with one base fewer than on table to represent horse holders. The unit dismounts as a 6-base foot unit minus any stands lost before hand. When mounting up halve the foot bases lost (round up) to find the number of mounted bases the unit counts as lost. The unit can deploy in either form and can't mount up in any terrain impassable to cavalry.
Joushan pushan (‘armoured cavalry' or armoured Kurds, Khorassanians, Circassians etc) C/D, Battle Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Tribal, Impetuous, Lancer
Tribal / Irregular cavalry, C/D, Light Cavalry, Tribal, Impetuous, Lancer
Options, delete lances from any
Options count any units exactly as Russian Cossacks
Option downgrade any to Insecure, Option to Downgrade any to Raw
Option downgrade any to Poorly Equipped
Option upgrade up to ¼ of units in the army to Brave.
Bombard, 2-3 bases, 0-1 of these can be a Howitzer, [Unique Unit], Heavy Artillery, Fickle Fire, Tribal, Mules – representing general immovability, buffalos, massed slaves etc as transport. If a Howitzer base is used the unit can move only by prolong (representing a mix of mortars and even worse manoeuvrability)
Light guns, 2-3 bases, [Unique Unit] Fickle Fire, Tribal, Mules
Tribal-Irregular infantry C/D, 1 or 3 Skr, Tribal, optional Matchlocks
Half or more must have a downgrade to Insecure, or downgrade to Raw, or both
For Insecure troops, optional upgrade to Voltiguers (representing swarming efficient skirmishers)
Option to downgrade any to Poorly Equipped as armed with traditional weapons
Option to upgrade ¼ of the units to Jagers and Light Infantry as armed with jezzails or similar
Option to upgrade 0-1 Raw unit to Guerra y Cuchillo as Arabs
Option Upgrade 0-2 non-Arab units, of the same Brigade, to Mounted Infantry riding camels horses or mules.
Option to change all the units of one Brigade to Jihadists Volunteers – as Brave, Raw, 0 Skr, Tribal, Poorly Equipped.
Mounted Infantry move as cavalry until they charge, shoot or engage in close combat, if they become committed they lose the Mounted Infantry characteristic for the reminder of the battle. Their Charge reach is that of Infantry and count for everything else as their infantry type.
Keshiks [Unique unit] Guard, C/D, 1 Skr pre c.1808, 2 thereafter, Tribal, optional Matchlocks to c. 1820, Optionally Oversize
Janbaz C/D, 1 Skr pre c. 1808, 2 thereafter, Tribal, optional Matchlocks to c.1830
Option – give one unit attached bildars as Sappers
Matchlocks, count as Fickle Fire for shooting at ranges beyond 4
Bagaderan [Unique unit] B/D, 2 Skr, (all or none of the army's units Voltigeurs,) Guard, Fearsome (probably shouldn't count Fearsome if fighting Russians)
Sarbaz Guard [Unique unit] B/D, 2 Skr, (all or none of the army's units Voltigeurs) Guard
Sarbaz C/D, 2 Skr (all or none of the army's units Voltigeurs)
Downgrade any to Raw as Reserve Sarbaz, which can't have Voltigeurs, option to further downgrade any to also be Insecure
Sarbaz Light Infantry, C/D, 2 Skr, Limited Light Infantry (0-1 unit optional Jagars as regular Jezzailachi) Voltigeurs
Troops marked with the ‘(all or none of the army's units Voltigeurs)' represents French tactical training, which is considered insufficient to cover the Elan or Tres Manoeuvrire of French nationals, how long this lasted under British influence post 1810 is not clear.
Regular Horse artillery – exactly as British HA
Regular Foot artillery – 2-3 bases, All Medium, All Light or All Heavy per unit. Heavy guns are 12-pounders, and are a [Unique Unit], light guns can be any of the exotic Russian Deserter, amusettes, mountain guns, shumkhals, swivel guns or similar.
Regular Lancers – C/R, Light Cavalry, Lancer
