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!

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.

Will Andy’s artillery be able to ambush from the treetops?

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

There’ll be space for trees between the 273 brigades ?
