Finally began to work on the WSS troops again after an extended break working on Colonial East Africa... Just finished a battalion of the Gardes Francaises - will do at least one more, but I am working on a French dragoon reg't - mounted and dismounted - first.
Question: Per BLB I am going to use 5 figures per base for dismounted - but should I do the bases as with my regular French infantry - 2 wide and 3 deep - or should I do 3 wide and two deep for a wider formation? Also, should I do 3 stands - thus 18 mounted figures - 3 game squadrons, but 6 actual squadrons - which seems really big - or do I just do 2 dismounted bases and 2 game squadrons? Barry - any recommendation?

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
To your question of dismounted dragoons, the rules only state that a mounted sqdn ( 2 stands) dismounts to a single infantry stand size. The rest is aesthetics.
Personally, I have 5 dismounted figures on a stand and then have a separate horse holder stand as a marker.
Got my website back and running - will have to edit image links on older posts - but will work on it. In the meantime here are the Beaufremont dragoons... mounted and dismounted...
