The Duchy of Schmalz and the Principality of Saindoux-Kasekopfes

As of right now, these are the working force rosters for my Imaginations forces. They will both be minor German states near the border between France and Germany, but they could really be anywhere with European looking forces if I want. Maybe they are colonial forces in South America or Africa? Maybe living in a completely fantastical world? That could be pretty cool. Regardless, before I indulge on any flights of fancy, I need to iron out my force lists, which will help dictate the forces I need to collect.

The Duchy of Schmalz

The military of the Duchy of Schmalz, or Schmalzers as they are colloquially known, is formed from a core of well-drilled, well-equipped infantry with elite light infantry Jaegers. The cavalry arm is best compared to Union cavalry in the American Civil War, with breech loading carbines and a doctrine that encourages fighting on foot as skirmishers more than on horseback. There is definitely meant to be a Prussian influence to the force, hence the Stubborn and Sharp Practice traits

As of right now, the plan is to collect five groups of infantry in line, two groups of line skirmishers, two groups of Jaeger skirmishers, two groups of cavalry (mounted and dismounted), and one artillery piece.

The Principality of Saindoux-Kasekopfes

The Principality of Saindoux-Kasekopfes, with it's large minority of French inhabitants draws a little more of that aggressive spirit or elan. The soldiers of the Principality favor decisive action over well measured drill and it shows in the their traits, with Aggressive and even Rebel Yell for the Guard infantry. All forces are similarly equipped to their Schmalzer counterparts, except that the cavalry is only equipped with rifled carbines, partially to discourage cowardly skirmishing, but also to save money, as the Principality is not quite as well funded as their Schmalzer counterparts.

I plan on collecting five groups of infantry in line, two groups of line skirmishers, three groups of guard infantry, two groups of cavalry (mounted and dismounted), and one artillery piece.
