How many units were in the game and how many figures per unit do you use in a SP game? Sounds like you had a fun game.

Units, or formations, are made up of six (skirmishers) or eight (regular) soldiers. In this game there were eight big men (leaders) per side, each with one or more groups under his command. The sides were points based, so the British, being better troops, had fewer men overall. The French had 11 groups of regular troops and three groups of skirmishers, for a total of 106 figures. The British had six groups of regulars and four groups of skirmishers for a total of 72 figures. In Sharp Practice terms, this was a fairly large game.

Very nice looking game of SP.
