OK I figured these guys deserved another picture now that the Captain's hair has turned grey and the men are all polished up and shiny.

ReplyDeleteRe flags - not all battalions are 600 men - most- anytime anywhere would be smaller- Do your 18 man units- smallish- include command figures ? If not the simple addition of a command group changes your ratios anyhow.
ReplyDeleteYeah 600 was an average-ey number, just to give some sort of relative measure. I'd just been looking at some Sikh War era battles with British and Sepoy battalions in excess of 700 men. The 18 figures does include an officer and sergeant, not all units quite muster that and others are stronger but its a starting point.
