The infantry brigades assemble


Here they are!

A total of seven brigades for the British (picture above).

1st (Guards) Brigade: 3 Guard battalions
2nd Brigade: 4 Line battalions
3rd Brigade: 3 Line battalions, 1 Guard battalion (Highlanders)
4th Brigade: 3 Line battalions
5th Brigade: 4 Line battalions (Spanish)
6th Brigade: 4 Line battalions (Spanish)
7th Brigade: 4 Line battalions (Spanish)

The British also have two "brigades" of cavalry, which I'll show later.  The British rolled up a some amount of artillery... 2 regular foot batteries, and two horse batteries.

Now for the French!


The French rolled up six brigades.

1st (Guard) Brigade: 3 Guard battalions
2nd (Guard) Brigade: 3 Guard battalions
3rd Brigade: 3 Line battalions
4th Brigade: 4 Line battalions
5th Brigade: 4 Line battalions
6th Brigade: 3 Line battalions

The French have two "brigades" of cavalry (one of which is quite huge, with a lot of heavy cav) and rolled up a ton of artillery... one battery of horse artillery, and four batteries of foot artillery.  That works out well for them, given that they will begin the game on defense, with the majority of their troops already deployed on the board (unlike the British, who will have troops come on the board with rolls.)

So... I'll get some more photos of the rest soon!
