I've been doing some investigation of battle deployments to see if I can work out exactly what the battle AI does. The above battle images rather tellingly indicate that the reality of the situation is that only very litmited superior force in terms of more regiments can be applied against the enemy. It looks very much like the larger force fills its front line to a 4 or 5 regiment overlap and then places units in the second line. The cavalry is always given priority on the flanks and, I suspect, priority in the frontline. The ultimate verdict from this is that the larger force will be able to apply up to 2 more infantry regiments than the enemy and 2 cavalry. This means that numbers of regiments is a very weak strategy for defeating an enemy force. I haven't done enough tests of this yet but my current game should sooner or later see Chinese hordes trying to defeat European armies which should reveal the sordid truth.
If this really is the situation then this will be very serious for the low tech countries in the world and, of course, a happy hunting ground for sneaky strategies.
