I have just worked out for my classic 20mm Napoleonics I have painted 70 foot and 15 mounted so far this year which is 370 points.

Here at IOS HQ I use a Don Featherstone inspired points system. Foot 1 pt, Monted 2pt and Artillery 10 pts.

So far this year I have painted 100 pts worth which is not bad compared to last years total of 145 pts.

Ta. Yes, lovely figures, but those bloody lances won't last five minutes. I think the only reason I got them is because they were the first spin of the mould when they first arrived at ABHQ in 1997ish.

They're based in two ranks, which is the 'Napoleon's Battles' standard method, but I also use them for Shako, GdeB, AoE and other rulesets without problem and all my SYW cavalry are based the same way. They're much better at standing up on slopes than single-ranked cavalry. I must confess though that I've added an extra 5mm to the depth (25mm x 55mm instead of 25mm x 50mm) in order to better accommodate the length of charging AB horses (I think a lot of these American rulesets assumed that everyone was using Heritage 15mm figures...).
