NFOW British Forces

Here is a look at the pieces that I use for NFOW. This is just going to be an overview and some brief explanations with historical estimations of the number of men represented by the individual pieces.

The above image shows the majority of the infantry forces that I use. Going from left to right, the first three columns of the pieces are battalions of Line infantry. Each piece, or stand, is to represent roughly sixty men as there were approximately six hundred men in the standard battalion of Line infantry for the British. The two stands directly behind the columns represent Grenadiers, the heavy infantry of the day and are meant to support the flanks.

Behind those three columns are another three battalions of Line making it six full battalions of Line infantry, each with an attached company, two stands, of Grenadiers. Off to the left are four small stands of Light infantry, two stands representing a company in the British army. Below those are my two flavor battalions as I like to call them, one to represent an Irish battalion and the other and Scottish one.

At the bottom left is partial squad of Heavy cavalry and then the current general of my forces. This is an early picture of my army which now includes various cavalry and artillery to support the masses of infantry that I have.
