I'm a bit unclear about whether the units have a separate leader or is the figure included in the standard unit. For example would a regular infantry regiment have 12 figures and a leader or 11 and a leader to make up the 12? I ask because some places seem to show 13 figures and some 12 although it is difficult to tell. Of course, it may be a matter of choice as the rules are not prescriptive on unit size. |

We always played a unit of 12 was 11 grunts and a leader. |

I don't even use leader figs per se. I just have a Litko death's head marker I drop among the figs when the leader is hit. |

Leader is always part of the group so 11+1 for regulars and irregular infantry and 15+1 for tribal infantry and 3+1 for artillery same for cavalry (not that I ever use cavalry as all my games take place in the Tsetse fly zone) |

Shark, since all the people who answered the OP gave the same answer (leader is included in the total) I don't understand your response. |

Thanks to all of you for your comments. 12 including the commander it is. |
