Yorktown Inventory

Having recently bought 10 horsemen to add to my small collection of BMC Yorktown figures, methought it time to take an inventory of just what I have. Here they are, laid out on my kitchen table.

I've placed them in 'units' of 10-12 foot figures, but have no real formal organisation except insofar as the larger contingents represent the major principals of the American War of Independence; the smaller the  allies (French) or paid mercenaries (German - I've painted them up as Brunswickers, and given them a Brunswick battle flag).  The battle flags are my own modifications on some of the figures, the pole made from slender skewers, and the flags printed off from some online source.  Before printing, I used Microsoft Paint to skew the image vertically, to give the flags better 'drape'.

Inventory:

1 Field Emplacement
2 Field cannon
2 Siege Mortars

USA:
5 Cavalry
5 Artillery (Officer and 4 gunners)
1 Mounted Field Officer
2 Officers on foot
1 Flag
3 NCOs
24 Musketeers (4 wearing brown jackets + NCO may represent a skirmishing group)
Total: 41 figures

French Allies:
1 Mounted Officer
1 Foot Officer
1 Flag
10 Musketeers
Total: 13 Figures

British Red Coats:
5 Cavalry
5 Artillery (Officer and 4 gunners)
1 Mounted Field Officer
2 Foot Officers
1 Flag
2 NCOs
22 Musketeers
Total: 38 figures

'Hessians' (actually Brunswickers):
1 Foot Officer
1 Flag
12 Musketeers
Total 14 figures.

Overall that gives me 54 on one side and 52 on the other. I have deliberately made the gunners fairly ambiguous, as I can think of scenarios in which the cannon will be on one side or the other, rather than evenly split.

This has been one of those little sidelines that have been sadly neglected for years, yet the limited numbers ought to make gaming with them quite convenient.
