Yes next year will be 28mm (or probably 25 - 30mm) so you should be able to add to the lead mountain on the table !

As an aside, should I be able to make it, what size are the units for this game, so even if I do not have an army I can have painted some tricorns ready?

Aim for a frontage of about seven or eight inches for close order foot. A little bigger or a little smaller makes no difference. Include enough figures to make it look like it's a close order unit - so two ranks would be best.

Cavalry have roughly the same frontage as foot (regardless of type). Make them look close order if they're dragoons or heavies - lighter cavalry can be opened out a bit if you want, but that's not important. Whether you have two ranks of troopers in a unit or just one is up to you.

One gun model is a battery (at the moment it is at least).

Ideally, you would have three units and a battery brigaded together with a mounted brigade commander, but I'm sure you'll be able to borrow extra troops to make up a brigade.

Hope that helps.
