Thanks for sorting the US forces Bill, as I don't know how I ruined the link in my post!

Your link was fine. It took me right there. The British and American topics are under the same sub forum but not linked in anyway that I could see. I had to use the search feature to find the Americans. You landed me close enough!  :)

You could consider mounting cavalry for this period on LoA dragoon horses ...

Not sure to be honest.  We did some test sculpts in 3D but didn't get any further than that as I don't have any time to start collating the reference info for it.

I do have all the reference data required, including many of the state militia uniforms, but not the time nor energy to collate it.
For the US you would need 3 regular infantry codes (4 if you're being really pedantic), and at least 5 codes for the militia infantry, at least 3 for the US militia cavalry.Plus a new type if you want include everything, the Pennsylvania militia cuirassiers.....

For the Canadians, the regulars can be catered for by Peninsula British ranges pretty much, so that's good, but you have at least 2 militia foot; and 3 militia cavalry but 2 of which may be made from existing figures I think.

Contrary to at least one author's assertions, the US militia uniforms were more heavily regulated than the regular army, and amounted to ~750,000 troops if you added them all together embodied at once, so it does make for an interesting army if varied uniforms are your thing. Of course, not all the militias saw action, so it may take the pack count down a smidgeon if only those that saw combat are made.

I'm pretty sure Sunjester and I know someone who has more of a certain model of tank than Hitler did! (Side-eye wondering if it is Orcs)
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.
