Final Decision on Basing

So after a while of debating and researching I have come up with a basing system that I will use for this project. I have also decided to change figure manufacturer from Irregular Miniatures to Baccus6mm, because they have more variety, though they do come in packs with command figures, so I might have many more extra figures than if I had stayed with Irregular.

First it will depend on how the troops fought during the war, of course, in my research I've found that many of the British units fought in a loose order formation, including the light infantry, who were used mostly as shock troops much like the grenadiers. To reflect this I have decided to base all British Infantry on 20mm x 15mm stands with six figures per stand, these troops will be treated as loose order figures for movement and shooting. Frontages of units are listed below.
Line/Guard Infantry (flank companies stripped) 160mm
Highland Infantry 200mm
Grenadiers/ Light Battalions 180mm

Hessian soldiers, as far as I can tell, kept tighter packed ranks and there fore will have six figures mounted on a 15mm x 15mm base. Since Jagers fought in loose skirmish formations, each company will be mounted as skirmishers on a 30mm x 15mm base. Frontages are listed below.
Grenadier Battalion 120mm
Musketeer Battalion 150mm
Jager Battalion 240mm

The Queen's Rangers fought much like the British so they will be mounted as British Infantry in loose formations, this will give them a frontage of 160mm.

All artillery will be mounted on a 30mm x 30mm base, giving the battery a frontage of 60mm.

Cavalry are mounted on a 20mm x 15mm base with three figures per base giving a regimental frontage of 240mm.

For the American army, line infantry and militia are based on 15mm x 15mm bases with six figures to a base, in close order, much like the Hessians. Light infantry are mounted like the British lights with six figures on a 20mm x 15mm. Frontages are below.
Foot Regiment 120mm
Light Battalion 80mm
Militia Battalion 75mm

Cavalry are mounted like British cavalry on 20mm x 15mm bases giving a frontage of 80mm.
