No worries. My next big project is a campaign set in the imagi-nation of the Trossian Empire, specifically to help account for my own blundering inexperience with the horse and musket era. We, like the best generals, shall roll with the punches, self-inflicted though they may be. What this means is that the Trossian Empire campaign takes place in an alternate 1775, where the big battalions are gaining steam, but horse artillery has yet to see effective battlefield use. We're in that odd transition between SYW and Napoleon, and fighting decidedly ahistoric fights with as much of a nod toward the real world as possible.
My loss is your gain. Let us make wargaming gold from my mis-ordered straw. Here then for those of you who may be considering a purchase of Irregular Miniatures "Marlburian Army Packs", a reasonably accurate accounting of the contents of each nation-specific army pack.
(Figure Code) x (Number in the pack): Description of the code
Some of these may be a bit off. When providing my census, it took me some time to really settle into the differences between some of these codes. At this small of a scale a few mm either way can make a difference, that my untrained eyes didn't track. Consider all these lists ballpark numbers and don't blame Irregular if I got any of them wrong. The hand-written notes in each photo are my first stab at it, the typed rosters may have a few changes made on further review. And if you've got any corrections, drop a comment and I'll change them as needed.
If you want a much better census of what each specific code represents and what it looks like, check out the Tiny Tin Troops website. It has many nice photos of each, plus a reasonably full accounting of the 2mm terrain items on offer over at Irregular.
