Deployment of Italian Regiments

This document was produced whilst trying to decide which regiments to choose to form my Italian miniatures army. Each regular unit is listed together with the theatre in which it was serving during each campaign. Filled in squares indicate that the unit in question had either not yet been formed or had been disbanded.

If you can fill in any of the (many) gaps in these tables or dispute the information they contain please contact me.

Separate tables have been produced for...

I have also added a note about my sources.
