Sorry, there's a 10-point penalty for making any of them look like Valleyboy. So that's actually -4.

Shouldn’t like them. But I do. Don’t know why.

Yeah, but I don't play at 1:20 ratio though. I play at 1:100ish. So this represents a brigade, rather than a battalion or regiment. At Leipzig it would be more like 12 figures. In any case, a Polish battalion at the start of the Leipzig Campaign was only 550 men or thereabouts, so even at 1:20 a 24 figure unit represents it pretty well even before they started taking losses. By Leipzig they were barely half that number.
Also the Fighting 15s unit packs were 24 figures.
I've actually reduced the 1:20 ratio units in my collection (which I inherited from the AB figures Wargames Weekend days) to smaller units or broken them up and given the surplus away to mates (I gave the entire Brunswick Corps at 1:20 and Irish Legion to Dave Brown).
