Those 'little fellars' running between infantry battalions .......

[Duke of Earl]

Bonjour Messieurs,

I have finally solved it! .... They are COURIERS from the Colonel AI ....  

Of course! ... It all makes sense now ....  

Cordialement, DoE

Sergeant!  Fetch me a cup of coffee from 2nd battalion, and a danish from 3rd battalion.  Oh, and tell them to be ready to march in 20 minutes.

I remember the first time I saw this and was really impressed. Very cool.

[Count von Csollich]

Me too - I first thought that those would be the sergents sent by the Chef de batallion, who sometimes made these walks by himself... but if it's the couriers it's fine as well...

those are the details I love about this game...
