DBN (not their AWI variant) or Warfare's Tremendous Feats –  . The sheer variety of uniforms in the AWI encourages rules systems using only 1 or 2 stands per unit. |

Volley and Bayonet. I'm one Hesse-Hanau artillery stand away from finishing the forces for First Freeman's Farm |

Martin, what does a stand represent in your rules? |
| martin goddard | 03 Aug 2020 3:27 a.m. PST |
Good question. I model figure = 16 real men.
A stand can have 3 or 4 figures on it depending whether it is regular line or looser militia et al formations.
Thus, a 4 figure British infantry "line" stand represents 64 men.
Because Washington's army is a battle level set of rules it is not loose enough for the "anything can be anything from skirmish to battle" fudge type armies.
