Using dead figures within the ranks

hello all
Hope everyone had a great new year.
Im wanting to use dead figures on my WSS British Infantry regiment bases ,however not sure how that works when basing up so , if ive got an 18 man regiment and use two dead figures does that still count as 18 men or a 16 man regiment .
regards
andrew

Andrew,

It still counts as 18 figures. Some people have from 15 to 21 "live" figures in their regiments for aesthetic reasons, but for gaming purposes the regiment still counts as having 18 figures.

Hello Ray
thanks for your reply i've copied brain phillips bases to be honest very similar to your picture..
it does add to the firing in battle representation which i like and it works very well with these front rank figures .
I've got 3 regiments of 18 firing. and looking at adding a fusilier regiment to add to my one regiment marching.
still not sure whos brigade to do yet, Ferguson's Brigade or Rowe's Brigade.
regards
andrew

Hello Ray
was only looking at "Blenheim OOB" earlier to see if i could include grenadiers throwing grenades like brain phillips done on his .
im hoping to be able to complete this brigade this year and maybe start my second brigade soon after god knows ,also have an roman army to build and paint and waiting for BLB2 to come out gonna be a busy year..

regards
andrew

Ray; the faces on your figures are some of the best I've seen. Can you give us less talented painters a little tutorial? Thanks.

my mistake was thinking fusilier and writing grenadier

ive gone back and read properly and see what your on about
no problem it save me placing a pointless order .
thanks for the heads up..

Rays figures were commission work, though I am not sure of the painter. He does do amazing work.

Getting back on topic, yes you can use dead, wounded or dying figures in your units. It adds character to the unit and has no bearing on # of figures firing/fighting.
