I recently bought Die Fighting by Bob Jones. It looks like what I want in a set of rules. I am planning on raising forces for the Seven Year's War, both Prussians and Austrians.
To start, I am making essentially identical forces for each side:
4 infantry battalions @ 12 figures each 48
1 grenadier battalion @ 12 figures 12
4 heavy cavalry squadrons @ 4 figures each 16
2 light artillery with 1 gun and 4 gunners each 8
That is 60 infantry, 16 cavalry, 8 gunners and 2 guns.
For both sides, the total is 120 infantry, 32 cavalry, 16 gunners and 4 guns. Not an impossible task, although I have not yet finished the first 24 infantry. When I do, they will be posted.
I am using Front Rank miniatures. I like them, although the fact that almost all 7YW Prussians come only with coats with lapels is a bit annoying.
After the first regiment of infantry, the next project will be artillery and cavalry. I have not yet purchased any Austrians. I am planning on doing a Hungarian regiment, just because I like them.
