I have based and build my prussians when I was playing Newbury. Therefor I have used their basing scheme.
For CC I use two stands of 4/5 infantry in line as one battalion and two stands of 3 cavalry figures as regiment.

At the time I started painting and basing the spanish ones, I still played Newbury and Napoleons War,
but at that time it was clear that I will change the rules system. I played with the idea of using Napoleons Battle
but that basing was not compatible with the current system so I based them 2 figures in line and glued two of
these on a second base so that I got 4 inf in line. The advantage is that I can rebase them easily into a 2 by 2 block.
But now as I think that I will stay with CC, 4 in line is OK.

As I do spend currently more time to the napoleonics hobby I finally ordered still more figures.
After some thinking I came up with the Wuertembergers. Reasons:
- It is possible to have their complete army in miniatur (depending on basing system: ~300 Figures)
- I have a quite complete uniform and army descriptions for all troop types
- Their army is quite a good mix of types
- The complete army costs about 180 DM (about 90$)
So I have ordered the figures from Jacobite und currently await the shipment.

The one thing I am missing with gaming in the napoleonic era are gimmicks.
In this case I envy my colleges at the club who play WW2.
There are literally hundreds of special troops, item, cases, ruins and other funny things to place on the terrain.
But I have at least some of those things.
The smoke counters I use to mark that this unit is in a firefight. This is a quite important rule feature in Corp Command.
This smoke bases not only mark this quite well but make also for a nice look on the battlefield.
