Those are fantastic.
There are 144 infantry in total, and the full box contents would retail at over £100.00 GBP ($160) individually, however the boxed army set is just £80.00 GBP ($128)
From here.

Good value. But seems… Odd sticking a single Hanovarian battalion in there. |

I thought the same… all Hanoverian or all British would make sense to me. They have not given details of the contents of the Hanoverians yet, but I assume it will be British with extra metal heads. This would explain the ratio, since they had the same with their Russians, where one Btln. was Pavlov Grenadiers (which come with metal heads as well). |

The perry twins do more models in their £75.00 GBP deal and in my opinion they are much nicer models.You basically get the above deal with an extra 2 colonels, 16 riflemen and a riflemen command set for £5.00 GBP less. link |

yeah. Its strange to me as 4 battalions would be perfect for a brigade.
But at Waterloo, no brigade has 3 British 1 Hanoverian in it. So you need to buy an additional British box, and three hanoverian boxes anyway. |

And I notice they give you a bunch of made-up Hanoverian flags. Only one of the ten are real and don't include the other three KNOWN flags. Possible Hanoverian designs I suppose, but they would NOT have carried the Union Jack.
And they shouldn't all be in caps! |
