Re-organising and re-basing...

I'm going through an exercise in re-organising my 17C collection; I'm re-basing some units as well and checking the storage used is properly labelled and uses the minimum number of boxes as possible.

Cavalry Basing

I have a number of cavalry units either singly based, or a mix of single and two figure bases. For simplicity I decided to make some movement trays for them out of thick cardboard...

The Croats are the first to benefit...

Pike&shot dragoons

Looking at what I'd done for dragoons I had mounted and dismounted versions; the dismounted getting some horse holders and the dragoons on single bases.

With my small game table, the mounted dragoons are hardly ever used; most games they are deployed. So I've scrapped the mounted units - some riders and all the horses will be used for some new units; the rest will head to the melty-pot of doom to be cast into some new figures. The new scheme is a small horse holder base and twelve dragoons on 2 figure bases (a few figures needed to fill the gaps are on order).

Pike&shot foot regiments

The existing scheme for foot regiment; its based in ones' and twos'; the number of musketeers is OK but would better with more...

I decided to have 4 figures per base and adding a couple of extra musketeers; the new look scheme

I've 15 regiments of foot to alter to the new scheme. I've cut all the cardboard bases ready for big foot shuffle.
