Opolchenie wanted!

I tried to create an OoB for the second battle of Polotsk, 18 october 1812. The Russians had many units of Opolchenie - militia/Landwehr. Unfortunately there are no Landwehr units available for Russia and substituting them with line infantry would make no sense because the undrilled Opolchenie units should be of poor quality and can not be compared to regular troops. Could these units be added to a future version of the database? They are really needed for 1812 scenarios.

Good Point!
I  was looking for the 'Vistula Legion' Regiment for 1813 scenarios, but its not listed...to be fair I didn't look into
the French Guard section if it might be there...

Cheers

The Vistula Legion regiment is there in 1813! Look for it under France - Line infantry - Regiments -> scroll down, it's near the bottom of the list.
