I see from rules you can have a frontage of single or double company's with two, three, four or six figs in the front line.
Which one of these best represents divisional and/or battalion mass? Or could any of the above be used but simply reverse the rear stand(s) as other nations do with closed column?
Thanks |

Exactly. Two stands wide is divisionmasse, one wide is battalionmasse |

Sorry to contradict.
Divisionsmasse was not a battalion with a front of a division (ie two companies), but a division with a half-company front, so three Divisionsmassen to the battalion.
Although the Bataillonsmasse had a front of one company, I tend to represent them with a two-companies-front – not correct, but visually more pleasing. There are six stands of 4 figures abreast for my Austrian Bataillon. |
