CL - denotes Catholic League unit. Mostly Bavarian except for a few from Cologne.
The Pernstein Cuirassier Regiment was understrength due to recent losses
at Angberg. The Offical Swedish History indicates that the two Piccolomini
Cirassier Regiments were Catholic League units, but the Alt-Piccolomini
Regiment is most certainly the Imperial regiment. No other Piccolomini
cuirassier regiment exists in the Imperial or League lists until l632 when
Jung-Piccolomini was raised.

The Comargo-Reinach Infantry Regiment is actually a combination of the two
