I'm wondering how army organization will be done in NC...if you are playing as the French, then you could organize into corps...but what if you're playing as one of the others? Wasn't Napoleon the only one who really used corps as the largest unit in armies?

LOL - at first I thought you were referring to North Carolina.

In the early years that was true. Although many nations adopted the corps structure following the example of the French army.

I would think the ACW structure would work fine with Napoleonics with army structure tailored to specific nations/armies.

Although not named Corps other Nations grouped thier divisions in larger formations too, called column, avantgarde, wing...
