This may have been asked elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.
The French, Italian Army 1798-1800 provides for up to half of the light and line demi-brigades to be upgraded to veteran. I had thought I understood this simple statement, but now I'm not so sure.
Assume an army list with 9 line and 3 light demi-brigades, so a total of 6 units could be upgraded to veteran. I had thought that the total number of line and light units (12) could be upgraded. This could be all 3 lights and 3 line; half of 12 units total. Is this correct, or does the upgrade limit apply to each type: so only 1 light and only 4 line (up to half of each type)?

Re: Unit upgrade question
Hi, i agree it's confusing.
For me, it's half the light AND half the line. Not Half of the total.
Probably an entire division of L4 and another one in L3.

Re: Unit upgrade question
For me it would be the total. If it was half of each it should say "half of the light and half of the line". "Half of the light and line" implies half of the combined group.

After reading again in french , I agree with you Roger.
