I'm planning on bring the Army of St Paulin, commanded by the Comte de Vacqueyras and his sidekick, the Marquis de Pomerol.
I intend to bring 4 infantry brigades, each of 3 battalions plus a gun - at least 1 and probably 2 Gardes battalions.
Definitely 3 cavalry brigades, each of 3 units, plus a small gun. Again, I'm going to include the Mousquetaires and Gendarmes, plus a cuirassier regiment.
Then either a 'light infantry' brigade of 3 battalions plus a gun or an extra line infantry brigade (I'll bring more if allowed - I can muster 10 'French' infantry brigades and 5 'French' cavalry brigades in total)

I'm also bring forces for Hotel and Whisky. They are, respectively:
. 4 'British' infantry brigades and 1 'British' cavalry brigade, with 2 guns in total, from the forces of Britannia commanded by General Sir Edward Hangem-Floghem.
. 2 'Hanoverian' and 1 'Hessian' infantry brigade, plus 1 'Hanoverian' cavalry brigade, with 2 guns in total from the army of the Duchy of Holmcast commanded by Prince August.
I can add 2 further 'Hessian (Prussian)' cavalry brigades plus up to 4 Hessian guns to these forces if necessary.

I've got plenty more figures if anyones needs extras - approximately a further 10 infantry brigades and 3 cavalry brigades, although if you want me to bring it all I'm going to need a bigger car!

At what point does Gary acknowledge that he might have a problem?

Well done for all the planning going into this. My bases are all 80mm frontage.
Lord Peeler of Ayton, beknown eater of pies, has the following -
9 line Btns, of 24 figures, on 3 bases.
2 Grenadier Btn, 24 figures, 3 bases.
2 Light Btns, of 18 figures, 3 bases.

Mounted, Reg of 18 figs, on 6 bases,
Mounted, Reg of 24 figs, on 6 bases.

Artillery, 12 guns, various size & calibre.

Hope that makes sense 🙂

Thank you oh greatest pie-eater, very helpful.

So, that's 4 brigades of infantry and (if split into 2 x 9) 2 skirmisher units from the leftover light unit.
And 1 brigade of cavalry, if you can split the 24 to become 2x12 for the game.
Bring 5 guns (1 for each brigade) and you're sorted. Mount the others on camels and check the rules for those with Iain.

It's a long, long, march to the trees.
