I am afraid I will not be able to return to this project until the new year but rest assured, return I will 

Thanks for your comments and interest!

After a long detour of other projects I have finally come back to Acre 
I am planning to skip my old home brewed rules and use Lion Rampant instead. I therefore need to organize the existing, and new, forces into the 6 and 12 figure groups and need to find a suitable scale ratio. The info on the attackers is not very detailed in terms of military formations but I understand that the info on the defending side is much better documented. I have read the Osprey campaign book and a few other accounts but failed to pin down the number of knights (and sergeants)from the military orders. The defenders were around 1000 knights(Templars, Hospitallers, Teutonic, Lazarus, St Thomas, English, French, Cyprus, Italian) and around 14000 infantry.  I found the following in an old print of an article by Ian Dunbar ( no sources mentioned) but I wonder if they can be correct?

Templar knights 240
Hospitaller knights 140
Teutonic knights 15

Grateful for any insights!
