On the BR wiki, the BRCS stats are at http://www.birthright.net/brwiki/index.php/Military_units

I will try and check the content and move them to http://www.birthright.net/brwiki/index.php/BRCS:Chapter six/Armies and warfare/Military_units later today. This has now been done.

In the meantime, you are welcome to set up your own alternative tables and stats on alternative pages, e.g. http://www.birthright.net/brwiki/index.php/User:Elrond/Military_units
After all, that is one of many reasons we created the wiki... to allow alternatives and share additional information.

I am not saying your corrections are right or wrong. I'll leave that to others. As it is, there is already at least one known textual error in that chapter, cf. http://www.birthright.net/brwiki/index.php/BRCS:Errata .

I wonder if 'cmnr' means commoner, i.e. militia levies?

I should dig out the stats I did for Rjurik Winds and post them up, but converting the excel spreadsheets into wiki tables would be hellish...

I sounds like Elrond has a fairly extensive system for organising troops consistently, I'd love to see it.

Quite likely. But it would be a repetition. Levies are irregulars.

Just the old system: I checked the statistics one by one.

I have a question: if elves do not field levies, why on table 6-1g is there a drafted unit (the homeguard)?
