Not that this should be viewed as gospel and things may change, but here are MY plans for the Jacobite foot...

Irish Foot Guards (2 battalions)
Rear pike stands (total 4 stands each), models advancing

Earl of Clanrickarde
Central pike stand (total 3 stands), models shooting, apostles

Earl of Antrim
All musket (total 3 stands), models shooting, apostles

Marquis de Boisseleau (2 battalions)
Rear pike stands (total 4 stands each), models at rest

Irish Militia
All pikes (total 3 stands), models at rest

The last unit is partially because I want to paint a rabble unit. Some reports on the Boyne say there were seven Jacobite battalions, but I've only ever seen six named. Anyone else read that? Did Antrim or Clanrickard have two battalions? Anyway my seventh battalion is going to be a mob of pikes...

Clarence,
Your breakdown lines up with Ray outlined for unit strength in his listing he put out I think a year or so ago. As far as units at the Boyne, I thought there were more, have to go back to Osprey book for that.

These are the units that contested the crossing...

Clarence,
Okay, gotcha.

There was another one Dudley Bagnal's (I think?) That some say was contesting the crossing, but it wasn't mentioned in the Boyne Osprey.
