Perhaps he picked up arguing with Presidents from his father's Philippines experiences

I don't see why not. 

Most foot units in the game are melee or shooters. But it would be easy to up the melee stats of a shooting units to reflect later line infantry with bayonets.

Interesting.....

Any idea if these would these rules would still cover small mid-late 1700's actions effectively?

Say an early EIC battalion sized force against a larger Eastern "irregular" pirate force with a small contingent of European regulars attached?

If you visit India, don't miss the remains. The ruins are great for rambling about with a packed lunch.

That should go well then!

I reckon I can do a Leipzig Prussian army in LWM for under £30.

Under £60 (possibly £50) for a cover all possibilities Blucher army.

 

You see sense at last.

My Irregular Wars lot are 10mm - almost all from the Pendraken ranges.

It's the Indian Ocean area from 1500-1650(ish)

Colonial Portuguese
Hollanders
Moghul (sp?)
Rajput
Vijayanagara Empire (It's easy for you to say that)
East Indies
Tribal African
East African
Arabian

I had to be creative to assemble troops from various areas, and dug into lots of ranges.
Somewhere in this forum is a list matching product codes to Irregular Wars lists.

Further Thoughts.

I'm not giving the Swedish contingent any extra characteristics, such as Skirmish bonus etc. They have an Elan of 6, the Avant Guard is élan of 7 and 'Mixed', (that is, infantry with a cavalry bonus, rather than 1 base Infantry, 1 base cavalry) because of the low numbers of cavalry with the AG. There is a separate Cavalry Brigade, and Artillery unit. Two of the three infantry bases have attached artillery.

The 6 Elan is to represent the limited involvement Sweden had, where as Napoleon reformed the Grande Armee with a sweep of what was left in France, the good units being put in the Garde.

(An Artillery stand represents 8-12 guns. You can attach a gun stand to infantry to represent integral artillery which gives a 1 die bonus to musket shooting, range of 2, or put 3 stands on a base to show a large battery, which trades limited ammo for long range of 8.)
