I've made up a list of Jacobite Infantry units and their pike to shot ratios using BLB2 formations, it may help some of you guys to decide how to paint up your units..........or it may not?
I asked Barry and Clarance the same question back in January, here's a link to that post

http://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/fightingtalk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3577

And here's a link to my list,

Good info Ray. I found a small article in an old Early Modern Warfare Society magazine called Gorget & Sash. In Vol 2 #4 page 11 they list the following from D'Altons army list;

Royal Guard's 900 men, 11 companies in 2 battalions with 99 pike
Walter Bourke's 1300 men, 26 companies in 2 battalions, no pike
Grand Priors 1100 men, 22companies 22 pike
Hamilton's 1100 men, 22 companies, no pike
Henry Dillon's 1300 men, 26 companies in 2 battalions, 347 pike
Boisseleau's 1168 men, 26 companies in 2 battalions, no pike
Gormaston's Ukn, with 11 pike listed
Eustace's Ukn, 1 battalion, 439 pike
Creagh's Ukn, with 9 pike listed

Your list is far more inclusive.
