Not positive on this one, but I think I saw something on this elsewhere on the forum; maybe even on the French forum. Anyway, I think they just disappear. Sort of like dismounting in ADLG where the horses are just gone - maybe eaten or something.

No. The rating of the commander controls how many units can be in the reserve.

In many ways cossacks are super detached skirmishers who have no ranged fire. Do cossacks have to give ground (retire or flee) before an advancing infantry unit they cannot contact frontally?

Any thoughts?

An odd question occurred to me during our game yesterday. Artillery fire is only effective (somewhat against detached skirmishers at short canister range.

Good discussion Gibbyj. As you say, in the absence of a definitive ruling, we will all have to noodle through this issue as we think best.
