Re: Width of a French Battalion in Column

What Oman decribes is a colonne par peloton: The frontage is one peloton (company), the pelotons are formed as usual, in three ranks, unless they are too weak and had to be formed in two ranks only.

So if the pelotons have a hundred men (without officers and NCOs), their frontage is 33 men or roughly 20 m.
