I`ve just finished my Hanoverian and Brunswick Corps army pack and it is now available at the Grand Manoeuvre website:
link
The pack compliments the previously released Dutch-Belgian army pack and to follow these will be British and French units particular to Waterloo and the 1815 campaign; it contains 22 unit files and one flag file with flags for both forces.
The pack has all of the units present at Waterloo; it is a pdf download and allows gamers to make an unlimited number of units, or sub-units... and so, I believe, is excellent value for money!

May I boldly suggest that you put up some shots of each army type? Only thing I can find is some portrait, that doesn't say a lot about the product, and I think a lot of people would hesitate to buy a digital product like this, without seeing a a few assembled samples first.

Fair point.. I must admit; I`ve been going "all out" to get them made, labelled, and posted... I`ll be making a few units each of Brunswick and Hanoverians and posting some photos tomorrow.

Photo shows 1st, 2nd & 3rd Line Battalions Brunswick Corps:
The columns are at full-distance, half-distance, and close.
These have the flags that are included in the army pack.
Shown in line formation at the bottom of this post - a Hanoverian Line battalion (Hoya) - the King`s colour may, or may not have been used - I`ve included King`s colours as an option.
Hope you like them.
Mike.

I`m now working on some generals blocks for the battle of Waterloo.
There will be brigade, divisional, corps and army blocks for the British, the French and the Prussian armies.
I`ll post some pictures of these when I can.

Mr. Manoeuvre, May I call you Grand? You asked in your introductory post for ideas of other periods where your style of figures might be useful. It seems to me that you could well represent a square of pikes or muskets from the 30 Years war with your blocks of troops. Just a thought.

Yeah, or Mike will do.
Oddly enough I was thinking about the same thing last night - well about Macedonian pikes.
This is something that may come later perhaps?
Mike.

I purchased the British and French miniatures a couple weeks ago. I printed of a few sheets off, and I noticed that there is is a size difference in the troops. The French troops are thicker than the British troops. Was this intended?

The French troops are thicker than the British troops. The British troops were that smart either...

I don't know anything about this set, but that is the kind of thing that can happen if you don't un-click "fit to page" or something similar. Just a thought because it has definitely happened to me.

I have made that common error a couple times. lolz. However, I ensured that this was not the case. I printed out a couple extra just to be sure.

Hi, just found this thread as a referrer to my site. It`s been some time since I`ve worked on paper army, but I think I tried to make the French and Brits look different - the British strips are longer by about 2 or 3mm right? I did this to make them look more "linear". I hope that doesn`t make for too much of a problem with your unit basing.
Mike.

It doesn't really mess with the basing, it just looks kind of funny with thick Frenchies and skinny Brits. Are the ACW paper minis the same? on side thick and the other skinny?

No, as the American armies fought in two ranks, they are both skinny...

Just out of interest, how wide are the figures? I mean, years ago, I started to make some "6 mm" figures for the 1808-09 Suomen Sota (Finnish war). I reckoned that if 1 mm equalled one foot, then the average bloke would be about 2 mm across the shoulders. I used cocktail sticks cut into 6 mm lengths (the height includes hats) and stuck wire on the sides for arms. According to scale, they were about right. However, on another forum, they were put down as "too skinny". Later, I bought some 6 mm / 1:300 scale figures (SciFi), and they were quite stocky. They weren't exactly works of art, but they were fun to do.

Hi alloydoy, The figures are about 2mm wide although I made them irregular and slightly varied to "animate" them; a 3-deep rank base is 19mm wide and consists of 8 men. best regards, mike.
