So, I bought enough minis for some Peninsular War action. Made the "literary" detachment, and enough french to build a generic "bad guy" list or 2.

I was thinking of the infantry getting 20mms, cav maybe at 25s, arty bigger...say 30? and leaders on bases according to status? Would y'all change anything?

Hi!

I base my infantry on 15mm diameter washers and then put them on sabot bases:



Cavalry is on 15mmx30mm bases, leader have the same bases as everyone else :)

My AB Napoleonic Prussians are based for larger battles, not skirmishes. My infantry are 3 per base, cavalry 2. The bases are 1 inch wide.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss
