If I just transpose the unit limits I have for Russia, this gives.
Curland:
- 1 Dragoon
- 1 Ulhan
- 1 horse jager
- 1 Grenadier
- 3 musketeers
- 1 jager
- 1 Opelchnie
Crimea
- 1 Horse artillery
- 1 Dragoon
- 1 Ulhan
- 1 Hussar
- 6 Cossacks
- 1 Grenadier
- 4 musketeers
- 2 jager
- 3 Opelchnie
This means quite small armies, especially for Curland, barely enough to be actually interesting.
There is also the question of the colour and uniform
For Curland, since the National colour are red/white, so I'd probably just keep the Russian uniforms, but with red coats (that's what CA did).
For Crimea, I'm thinking that instead of following CA example with some "Russian looking units", may be it would be better to make them "Ottoman looking"?
The reference picture from POE showing Crimean tatars is closer to the Ottoman uniforms.
Or maybe I could use other states as possible emergent than Courland and Crimea. Why not a "Ukraine" that could appear in Kursk or Kiev? Or may be a generic "Cossack" emergent faction, that could appear in Kursk, Kiev or Crimea? I could give them uniforms based on the cossack, with cossack cap and colpack to make them distinctive.
In Kursk, the recruitment limits could be:
- 1 Horse artillery
- 3 Dragoon
- 1 Ulhan
- 1 Hussar
- 15 Cossacks + 5 infantry
- 1 Grenadier
- 4 musketeers
- 2 jager
- 4 Opelchnie
Actually, these cossacks units would replace Russia in Kiev, Kursk and Crimea as "occupied units" recruitable by foreigner.
And I'll still have to do some Russian looking occupied units for the other regions.
