Briefly the British have 4 Line Regiments; 3 Foot Guard Regiments; 2 composite Grenadier Regiments; some Grenadiers & dismounted Dragoons to skirmish; the Royal Horse Guards; the Scots Greys; the Royal Dragoon Guards and the 8th Dragoons. There are some Battalion guns to allocate in a game and one battery of heavy guns. Probably six or seven Command bases.<br />The French have 4 Line Regiments; 2 Grenadier Regiments; 2 Guard Regiments; 1 Irish Regiment; some Light Infantry skirmishers. 2 Regiments of Horse Guards; the Cuirassier du Roi; 1 Line Cavalry Regiment; the fictional Hussards de Bykli and one battery of heavy guns. There are probably 6 Command Stands.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985725848702292911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021096045371174446.post-67785130333610557472017-09-08T04:46:49.302-07:002017-09-08T04:46:49.302-07:00Thanks Giles, very kind.

Fortunately I have been reading Homes's on Marborough and I already have enough figures not to be diverted into SYW yet awhile. I am interested though to know the number of regiments, squadrons and guns deplyed in the game, simply because the table density looks so good.

The Guards were suitably well mannered and had the good grace to throw a large number of successful saves whilst their opponents were not quite so lucky. jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550061626443745990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021096045371174446.post-89648297104342660502017-09-07T07:53:49.620-07:002017-09-07T07:53:49.620-07:00A splendid looking game, and no mistake!
