Having done some experimentation it's not necessary. If you're at a point where cavalry are needed, you're almost certainly going to be asking for volunteers. My suggestion about the Frontier Cavalry Regiment(s) was mostly to allow any Cavalrymen and Squadrons that volunteer not to have to be included in Infantry units. If all Frontier Regiments are infantry, what happens with them? Are they added to an Infantry Regiment? Do they act indepenedntly (for Squadrons)?

Couple of questions... Am I correct that as a volunteer character, I may choose which frontier I go to? That's correct, as long as you volunteer as an indiviual not a company. That is a very good point indeed. No modifiers for any; that's based on a direct conversion of the same status regiments.

They're attached to them, but act semi independently. What that means in mechanical terms is that they use the regimental commander result as well as their own.

Couple of questions... If that's the case, I think you might want to explicitly state them on the table regardless for completeness. There is at least one regiment on the list which has 0 mod's across the board in the table anyway. Agreed. I'll add them to the table. Absolutely. Once the general discussion is over these will be added to the rulebook. Actually, I was considering doing both that and having the rules available in smaller sections for those that want them.

Fronts vs provinces:I see you divided the frontier in 4 fronts. Of course, this does not coincide with the 8 provinces (plus Ïle de France), but I also understand that having 8 fronts would make things more difficult to referee (and quite more work). So how to match it? Looking at geography (purely), the regiments defending each front would be: - Spanish Frontier: Gaston, Languedoc
- Flanders: Picardy and Champagne
- Lorraine: Burgundy
- Savoy: Provence.
Of course, here we find 2 fronts with a single regiment and 2 regiments without front. If you accept a suggestion, I’d unify the Lorraine and Savoy front and add a new one (Atlantic), that would mostly act against English/Spanish raids and rebel Huguenots, and where (of course) the Normandy and Brittany regiments would be the native ones. For this turn, you could decide any of them as the Atlantic and the other will keep being the Lorraine/Savoy. As this puts 2 provinces (and so 2 Regiments) per front, you should alter the Regiments needed according HL (the easiest way is by doubling them too)…

Another possibility to make things wasier while keeping the 8 provinces and 4 fronts would be to assume only 1 Frontier Regiment is in each 2 provinces (let's call it Rgion, or Front), each province having i nfact only 1/2 regiment (4 companies).
In this case, you'd need to decide if Military Governors would be 1 per province (and so 8) or one per Region/Front (so 4).
And I keep thinking this kind of Fronts, each involving 2 provinces, would be better for having the diferent provinces (and their Regiments) involved...

I don't think that's necessary at the moment; the provinces come into play if someone stirs up rebellion there.

Another matter: the deployment table in page 11:
I feel it quite logical in general, but I'd suggest to give a chance of any inconclusive siege (results 3-4 on Siege) to become an assault the following month (the besiegers either see the opportunity or get impatient).

Another question (and some comments a suggestions) about medals:
Are the benefits of several medals cummulative?
See that, if so, it is better to have two different ones thatn the higher one twice...
To give an example:
A character has won an Êtoile de France (so earning 3 SP and 30 livres/month). After another month of campaigining, he wins another medal. If it is another Êtoile de France, if would give him "just" 1 SP/month more, OTOH, if he wins a Meaille militaire , he wil lbe awarded 2 Sp and 20 livres more a month, s obeing quite better for him, despite the medal being lower...
Suggestion:
Only the higher class medal would give the listed benefits. Any other mdal would be treated as a bar, despite counting as a separate medal when named.
So, If a character has received (after several campaigns) one Legion d'Honeur, one Êtoile de France, 2 Medailles Militaires and a Croix du Roi, he may name them all after his name, but he would receive "just" 8 SP and 50 livres pension each month, instead of the 11 SP and 100 livres if all of them gave the listed benefits.

This is a good suggestion; implemented. Another suggestion about this same issue, halfway among two possibilities, that I guess would make medals attractive but not overwhelming: Medals of equal or lesser rank than the highest one a character has have only their full benefits (SPs or pensions) only for one month. Afterwards, they are treated as a bar in the highest medal (as in previous suggestion). e.g.; A character has already an Êtoile de France, that gives him 3 SP per month and a pension of 30 Crowns. He receives another Êtoile the France. Next month he receives an extra reward of 30 Crowns, and the first month in Paris after receiving it another 3 SP. Afterwards, the only effect of the second one would be a bar under his first one (and another SP/month, as per bars). If he latter receives a Legoion d'Honneur, hismonthly rewards will raise to 6 SP (4 for the LdH and 2 for the two EdF, that count as bars) and 50 Crowns per per turn, without any "single month bonus".
