I mistakenly thought that there might be a genuine reason for asking, other than general nosiness.

Not mistakenly at all, Paul. There absolutely is a genuine reason for me asking, so you were spot on.

Good man. Right back at ya!

Basing of my stuff which is all imagi and follows no historical pattern but works for my gaming which is SP, HOW and SS&S

(1) Close order foot
a) How many figures do you have in your units, 20 but increasable in 4's up to 32
b) How many bases is that, 4 figs per base so 5+
c) When formed in line, what is the total frontage (I'm assuming a depth of two figures per base is standard). 200mm+
(2) Close order horse
a) How many figures do you have in your units, 8 but increasable to 12
b) How many bases is that, 4 -6
c) When formed in line, what is the total frontage (assuming you form your cavalry in a single rank of figures). 200mm+
(3) Open order troops
a) Are your open order troops on a permanent open order base About 2/3 the rest of singles
b) How many figures in a unit 10+
c) How many to a base 2 where multi based
d) How big is the base? 40x40 where multi based

Cheers Simon. Much obliged.
