Hi There
Whats the average BG size per average army? would 12BG be okey or too few?

This was from a post by RBS a page or so down (25mm basing):

Here is a Later English civil war 600 point starter army as an example:

Later English Civil War Royalist (1644) starter army
Commander-in-Chief 1 Field Commander
Sub-Commanders 2 2 x Troop Commander
Horse 2 BGs Each comprising 4 bases of horse: Superior, Armoured, Cavaliers – Impact Pistol, Melee Pistol
Horse 2 BGs Each comprising 4 bases of horse: Average, Unarmoured, Cavaliers – Impact Pistol, Melee Pistol
Foot 1 BG 6 bases of foot: 2 Superior, Unarmoured, Heavy Foot – Pike; and 4 Average, Unarmoured, Medium Foot – Musket
Foot 2 BGs Each comprising 6 bases of foot: 2 Average, Unarmoured, Heavy Foot – Pike; and 4 Average, Unarmoured, Medium Foot – Musket
Firelocks 1 BG 4 bases of firelocks: Superior, Unarmoured, Medium Foot – Musket
Commanded shot 2 BGs Each comprising 2 bases of commanded shot: Average, Unarmoured Medium Foot – Musket
Dragoons 1 BG 3 bases of dragoons: Average, Unarmoured, Dragoons – Musket
Camp 1 Unfortified camp
Total 11 BGs Camp, 16 mounted bases, 29 foot bases, 3 commanders

Gives some idea of army size, at least for later stuff. Earlier I'd bet gain more bases per BG.

Depends upon the army. 12 BG seems average to me. I would not worry if I had 12 BG in an 800 point list - I have played with 9 BG and that is just too small.

would the dragooons be on cavalry sized based or on MF sized bases?

That same post by RBS (look for "basing 25mm") mentioned all the base sizes.

40x40 for 15mm figures.

From what I gather it will be similar to DBR basing for Dragoons. basically a double sized base with 3 shooters up front and a horse holder and a couple of mounts out back. Saves the need for double figs for mounted and dismounted figs.
