I agree. The hangers-on, who are doing some of the jobs that used to be done by the army, are a rich vein of material. I haven't done much with camp followers because I've mostly dealt with units that have fixed bases. However, in the viscous fluidity of the military situation of 2000 in Europe, camp followers would be a big issue.
