Black uniform is hard to paint to look cool.
Good job  rokurota.

Thanks for your kind comments!
Björn, dark tones are hard to paint but I like it.

I've just asked the question on one of the Bac Ninh threads but this is probably a better place to discuss the matter : what was the average size of an Imperial or Shogunate battalion during the Boshin War ? My instinct tells me 300 to 500, which would result in 16 to 24 figure units on the tabletop at 1:20. Am I far off the mark here ?

Theoretical organisation appears to have been into battalions of 400 or 500 men.  For example, the Shogunate forces assembled in Osaka to march on Kyoto at the beginning of 1868 included 12 battalions of Hohei regular infantry (theoretically 6000 men).
