Hi everyone
I am doing Breeds hill first the plan is to have troops on 28mm bases for British Grenadier in correct formations so units in newer open order and newly arrived in possibly denser 3 ranks? For the British and Americans militia in a uneven line / grouped together and state troops in line similar to British
What do you think and anyone know correct formations for both sides
Cheers Martin
Sounds a really good idea
I used a similar approach for my Volley & Bayonet AWI project
I didn't go to the same level of differentiation so don't have details on the correct formations
Below you can see the well drilled British and Hessians on the left and the very uneven North Carolina Militia

Very nice paulr impressive. :D. normally in British Grenadier it's 16/18/20/24/28 figures or less with skirmishes so its battles are 1 to 20 I aim to replace each figure with 5 x 10mm figures so in some scenarios which are actual scaled 1 to 5 I will have correct numbers on the table
Thanks :-[
Those are 16 figures on a 3" x 1.5" base for V&B, typically at 1 figure per 6-9 men
Your forces are definitely going to look impressive :)
I hope so I want correct files and potions of officers etc
