How to use these figures for RtE

Each battalion is 64 figures, cav is between 24 and 36 figures.

This fits very well into 1:10 scale, so 640 soldiers and 240-360 troopers.
It's a little boring that all battalions are the same size tho. Some of the intersting with 1:20 rules is that you might find your 24 figure battalion against 40 figure battalion.

My batteries will be 1:1 for French, prussians, british and austrians, while the batteries of Russians will be 1:1.5 with 10 guns instead of the historic 12.

What would I have to do to play RTE with these figures, what ground scale should I use?

Gunfreak,

A very simple method would be to make a "Combat Group" consist of eight figures instead of four and use the rules as is. Might not be 100% accurate but it would surely save a lot of buggering around.
