There were quite a few based units backed up and the weather cleared briefly between heavy showers so...

HM 5th Northumberland Fusiliers





And as detachments





2nd Oude Irregular Infantry

Easier to answer it again than hunt out the earlier answer

3"x3" are non-drilled troops - move slightly faster, don't fight quite as well in some circumstances - troops that don't have sergeants/havildars shouting at them

3"x1.5" are drilled troops - the majority of troops in this period

1.5"x1.5" are detachments - small ~80 men units with specific weapons e.g. rifled muskets, or tasks e.g. occupying a hamlet or skirmishing (when they are placed on 3"x1.5" skirmishing sabots)

Wonderful work and thanks for explaining what the different base sizes refer to.

fred.

Thanks Paul, the bases sizes are a bit bigger than I had thought, the 3x3" will be quite imposing on the table!

HM 90th Perthshire Volunteers
Seven companies arrived late in the campaign, 15 September, making them the largest battalion in Havelock's force.





And as detachments. They had been issued with rifled muskets on the way up to Allahabad and so all are able to skirmish
