Formations in boxes: Some Napoleonic examples

Having experimented with a couple of World War II 'formations in boxes', I decided to see if it would work with figures from my Napoleonic collection ... and it does!

The A5-sized WestonBoxes will hold:

• 8 x Infantry bases (i.e. 4 infantry units)
• 1 x Artillery base
• 1 x Artillery crew base
• 2 x Cavalry bases (i.e. 1 cavalry unit)
• 1 x Commander base

As these are ideal-sized formations for use with my PORTABLE NAPOLEONIC WARGAME rules, I hope to move the entire collection from the A4-sized Really Useful Boxes they are currently in into A5-sized WestonBoxes.

The following are examples of formations I have already moved over into A5-sized WestonBoxes.
