"Size of 2nd Nassau-Usingen regiments " Topic

Hello,

I have question about the amount of figures needed for a Nassau-Usingen battalion at Quatre Bras. I've read some where that they where organized like the french with six companies, but their companies where bigger. The rule set I would use is GdB. My french battalions is 36 figs. Would 48 figs on six bases be correct or what do you say?

48 is closer to correct, however I built my Nassau at 36, only because 48 took up a lot of footprint. Battalions were over 900 men in strength.

Have a look through this.

Thanks alot gentlemen!

Judging from those figures, the Nassauers really appear to have taken to heart the dictum that God is on the side of the big battalions.
