How did you deal with the orbat?  Every unit represented, or scaled down?

For the allies every unit represented. For the french, because historically their battalions were around 25% smaller, we represented each brigade with 3 rather than 4 battalions. Similarly with cavalry we had a regiment on the table for every 3 historical squadrons.
