Very true mate I have been eyeing these for too long owe steel fist some money for the kickstarter first but I will look to pick some up at the end of the month if all goes well. Does very much depend on what happens on the work front though.

Just out of curiosity, what was the average size of an Imperial or Shogunate battalion during the Boshin War ? 300 to 500 strong perhaps ?

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).

Good to see the range expanding. Now I just have to find some money to by a few packs (heads for back of sofa).
