That's a lot of troops.  Lovely work on all the figures so far.  I really like how you organize your troops with the basing.

I've just checked the spread sheet as I realised I hadn't include all the 6mm 1944 German infantry, that didn't change the numbers significantly #:-S

The spread sheet error that didn't include several of my WW II forces in the totals was significant #-o #-o #-o

The revised numbers are...

6mm - Ancients, Napoleonic, WW II, Modern
8,710 Infantry
1,201 Mounted
1,199 Vehicles and guns
11,110 Total (increased by 1,206)

10mm - Ancients, AWI, WW I
2,660 Infantry
  494 Mounted
    27 Vehicles and guns
3,181 Total

15mm WW II
  274 Infantry
    76 Vehicles and guns
  350 Total

Naval - Age of Sail, Pre-Dreadnaught, WW II
  342 Cruisers and larger
  279 Destroyers and smaller and cargo vessels
  621 Total
