The Allied Army



My work on the Allied army continues.  In planning ahead, I have given thought to those units I intend to represent and those I will leave out.  I simply don't have time to do every battalion in the Army, so I have decided to reflect some of the more famous ones and leave others out.

Listed below are the Allied units at Waterloo.  In green, are those that are done; in orange, those that are partly done and in red, those I don't intend to do.

Some will be single battalion squares with a 25 man frontage in four ranks making about 400 men per square.  Some will be double battalion squares.  Others will be in the various farms.  And some will be in line (for instance, 5 KGL).

43 battalions in total will be shown - about 16,000 infantry.  I have finished 12 this year, so it should take another three years. .......But then there are the French and Prussians, which should see me through until I kick the bucket!
