What ratio is good for Indian Mutineers vs British for gaming the "Mutiny"? 3:1, 2:1? |

More like 5-1 in general, with 10-1 not unusual and 20-1 or even more at certain times. |

Like Andrew Preziosi says. More specifically, maybe 2 or3:1 for mutinous sepoys and many more:1 for the numerous mobs of badmashes and non-sepoy native troops, etc. that fill out the mutineer forces. |

I think it depends on the rule set and scenario. 5 to one in TSATF is sure to end in the British being massacred. |

Razor…I think rvan has it right! At least 3-1 for mutineers in general (though again, with certain combats/units 5-1 would be correct) and roll a d6/d10 for additional "mobs" attached! |

You can recycle the mutineers if you need to. And don't forget to give the British a baggage train they have to guard. That can even things up a bit. |

Depends. Early mutiny about 3:1 with the mutineers being almost as good as the HEIC or British troops. Cavalry 2:1 for the mutineers. Later period 4/5:1 but higher proportion of really bad troops on the mutineers' side. Not sure if they are worth gaming with. They'll run on the first occasion. |
