Great looking armies.

These are some of the ones I'm thinking of adding for Irregular Wars - which looks to be in the same sort of era.

Do you know what codes were used for the Swedes?

The Swedes are mostly from the ECW range: Reiters: EC 9/10, dragoons EC 12/YW 1, musketeers EC 14, guns MAL 14 w ECW crew (and EC 26). And EC 5/13/30 for commanders.

Quick question: Is the emphasis on cavalry, or is that your preferred list set up?

The basic lists that I'm using for these are for skirmishes, or what is called 'Kleine Krieg'. So in general there is an emphasis on cavalry and dragoons because they are the mobile troops that would be used for those actions. You can also play bigger games on the divisional level where you will find more infantry. Even then, most of these armies feature a lot of cavalry.
The troop scale is one base equals around 50 men, so a skirmish force is the size of a (small) regiment. In a division you field several (3-6) regiments. Also note that this is just what I have painted so far. The lists allow for various combinations, so I don't necessarily get to use them all at the same time.

The rules and lists are in general cavalry orientated, compared to other pike & shot rules.

Nice armies! It helps a lot to see them based. No winged hussars, though.  :(

Winged Hussars are not noted for appearing in minor skirmishes a lot. You can find them on the divisional level. And there is a historical skirmish list where you can use them.
