The first axis of troop differences I identified as having to be addressed in a Napoleonic rule set was the tactical roles filled by various troop types. This has been dealt with already.
The second was tactical doctrine, by which I mean the differences in behaviour for ostensibly identical troop types across different armies, and even the same army at different time periods. It includes also the effects of differing cultures and social relations between members of different armies. The relations between officers and men were quite different, for example, in the British army as compared with the French, for the societies they came from were founded on different principles. Likewise for Austria, Russia and so on. The differences discussed below are all expressed on the battlefield as simple bonuses and deficits applied to certain troop types.
