-That's potentially 11 batallions, against 6 that I had in the original order of battle for Contreras when I misread which his division was. I originally had that divided into two brigades of 3 battalions each. If I use the June order of battle that gives nine regiments, which I could assume is a single battalion each, giving two brigades one of 4 battalions and the other of five. I could also treat the original light infantry regiments as providing the skirmishing capacity for each brigade rather than as separate units in their own right.

That would give 2 brigades of 3 and 4 battalions respectively, not that far off what I had originally set out.
