It is specified that : Note: There must be at least as many ordonnance archers as ordonnance men-at-arms and coustilliers in the army.

Now does that include the number of dismounted ordonnance men-at-arms and coustilliers ?

I must admit I checked and thought only of the MOUNTED ones

It is what it says.  Mounted and dismounted.

Thanks

The exact wording in the army lists is : Note: There must be at least as many ordonnance archers as ordonnance men-at-arms and coustilliers in the army.

For some reason I was not the only one to think it concerned only the mounted ones. Perhaps becaus the dismounted ones do begin with the word "dismounted"   :)

It's only after I reread some times later that it did seem more oblvious .

Thanks for answering
