Basicly moving this over from TW, thanks for Skass and Furrnox for your work earlier! 
.The purpose of this thread is to have a list of ranks of the armies in the Napoleonic Wars which are as historically accurate as possible, though im aware of the fact that those will propably never be 100% accurate or complete. Im not going to list any ranks above Colonel as this is just thought for regiments, also the ranks above that are probably known by everyone anyway.
"But this doesn't contain my regiments ranks!" Well, either i have made a mistake then or your regiment isn't using completely accurate ranks.
You dont have to use these if you dont like them. This is just to give people an idea how they might structure their ranks or how to improve their ranking system.
Feel free to correct me anytime if you spot a mistake, but only if you have a correction that is provable (a link of a trustable website would allready be enough).What the threadlooking for:
- Naval ranks of all nations, major as minor.
- Ranks of any minor nation
Please PM me if you know anything that could be added.
Also feel free to ask any question in this thread.
Please note: I wont put any german minor nations into the list as they are mostly the same as Prussian or Austrian ones.
