Planning for the Battle of Chippawa

The battle of Chippawa July 5 1814was the closest thing to a matched battle on the Niagara frontier and is the ideal starting point for my collection.  The breakdown of forces committed to the battle are as follows:

American Army:

General Officer Commanding:  Brig Gen Winfield Scott

1st Brigade:  (Commanded by Scott)

9th/22nd US Infantry (549)

11th US Infantry (416)

25th US Infantry (345)

Coy, 21st US Infantry (80)

3rd (Militia) Brigade: Brig Gen Peter B. Porter

5th Pennsylvania Militia (200)

Six Nations Warriors (300)

US Artillery Battery:

2 x 6pdr

3 x 12 pdr

1 x 5.5" Howizter

British/Canadian Army:

General Officer Commanding:  Maj Gen Phineas Riall

1st Brigade: (Commanded by Raill)

1st Regiment - The Royal Scots (500)

The King's 8th Regiment  (400)

100th Regiment - Prince Regent's County of Dublin (460)

2nd Brigade:  Lt. Col Thomas Pearson

2nd Lincoln Regiment of Militia (200)

Western Nations and Grand River Nations Warriors (300)

Royal Artillery:

3 x 6 pdr

2 x 24 pdr

1 x 5.5" Howizter

Cavalry:

Squadron, 19th Light Dragoons (approx 90)

If I am to convert these numbers to heavily simplified 'Black Powder' numbers, I came up with the following miniature list based on 24 figure standard size battalions:

Black Powder American Army:

General Officer Commanding:  Maj Gen Jacob Brown - 2 figures

1st Brigade:  Brig Gen Winfield Scott - 1 figure

9th/22nd US Infantry - 24 figures

11th US Infantry- 24 figures

21/25th US Infantry- 24 Figures

3rd (Militia) Brigade: Brig Gen Peter B. Porter - 1 figure

5th Pennsylvania Militia- 12 figures (small unit)

Six Nations Warriors- 12 figures (small unit)

Artillery - 2 guns

Black Powder British/Canadian Army:

General Officer Commanding:  Maj Gen Phineas Riall - 2 figures

1st Brigade: (Commanded by Raill)

1st Regiment - The Royal Scots - 24 figures

The King's 8th Regiment- 24 figures

100th Regiment - Prince Regent's County of Dublin- 24 figures

2nd Brigade:  Lt. Col Thomas Pearson - 1 figure

2nd Lincoln Regiment of Militia - 12 figures (small unit)

Western Nations and Grand River Nations Warriors - 12 figures (small unit)

Artillery - 2 guns

19th Light Dragoons:  - 4 figures (Tiny Unit)

Note: As I stated above, these numbers are heavily simplified.  In general each side fielded about 2000 troops each with almost equal numbers of regulars, militia and natives.  The British did suffered from a lack of Brigade commanders.

With this  battle as my first step, I now have the number of miniatures needed to get things rolling.

More to come as I decide on my first purchase and layout the scenario in greater detail.
