Well the weather is now misty rain with strengthening northerly winds :(

Good thing I took the punt and varnished the current batch just after my last post at about 7:30am  :o :)

Bugger >:(

If I add the totals for the two armies together and compare them with my running total every number except the number of guns is different >:(

The respective totals are 1,253 and 1,220 >:( ~X( ~X(

I'm going to have to do some checking X_X

Seeing the British are still out after their photo session I checked them.

A few infantry stands have slightly less figures than planned as I juggled the figures I had ordered and my changing army list.

So the revised figures are:

British Southern Army, The Carolinas, 1780-1

488 Infantry & gunners
34 Cavalry
29 Officers
3 Guns
554 Total

This reduces the discrepancy by 12, 21 more to find ~X(

It is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly....
