Guyot in 1815

Kevin

I am looking at playing The Emperor Returns and was doing a spot of research 
on the initial strengths. The version I have (looks like first edition) 
shows Guyot;s Guard Heavy Cavalry brigade as having an initial strength of 
4,000 cav but the sources I have looked at list only around 1,600-2,000 
cavalry in the Grenadiers a Cheval and Empress Dragoons.

Am I overlooking something? I note that the Guard Light Cavalry commanded by 
Lefebvre are correctly listed elsewhere (under Ney) at 2,000 men.

Clarification or thoughts greatly appreciated. Regards.

Nigel

Nigel,

On page 14 of the game's Study Folder you can see Guyot's strength listed as 
1612 men as of the 13th. So offhand I'd say that 4 looks like an error, 
change it to "2."
