unit size and basing.

I have a bunch of ECW that I would like basing up. I have yet to get the rules but am planning to get them soon enough. Can anyone let me in on how Musketeers, Pike and Harqebusier are based and formed as units, so I can get a head start?

My problem is always buying the rules and then taking forever to form units- by that point I'm distracted by other shiny things. I would love to have some units ready to go first, so I can jump right in.

Been looking for a good set of ECW rules for a long time.

Thanks

Pike 4 to a base
Musketeer 3 to a base
Pike and shot units for ECW 2 bases pike 4 bases of shot

Harquebusir are based 2 or 3 I believe to a base.
I think (rules not arrived in the mail yet

) that they are 4 bases to a BG. Other mounted seem to be 4 bases to a BG. From what I have read on the forums Harquebusiers are not that great so might want to switch them to cavaliers instead.

Thanks. Those size of units seem really reasonable to me. Great. Thanks. I should be able to form several BG's before I even get the rules. Cool.

Harquebusiers 3 to a base in 28mm, 3 or 4 to a base (your choice) in 15mm.

You can tell I do 28mm only, human nature to assume everyone is thinking the same scale as I do....
