French forces on the march to Strasbourg from Provence are instructed to "CONSOLIDATE! CONSOLIDATE! MOBILIZE! MOBILIZE!" along the way. New men are to be recruited and trained on the march in order to replace the losses that were suffered against Eugene.*
In addition, the king's military council makes the proclamation that pike formations are to be dispensed with henceforth, and that pikemen ought to be trained in the use of the musket instead.**
*(OoC: This is tricky to cost because of the awkward numbers, I basically just want to replace what was lost. I'm aware this may involve me having to buy whole new units, which is what I am about to cost: 4,000 Line, 1,500 Cuirassiers, 1,500 Dragoons, 500 Musketeers of the Guard = 83,000)
**(OoC: I assume the cost of the upgrade is the difference between Line Infantry and Pikemen. Therefore to upgrade all of France's Pikemen to Line Infantry ought to cost 7 x 1,500 = 10500)
