I’d say 16. Enough for interesting regiments size, but with enough space (I hope, not that I’m an expert) on the sprues for alternate weapons, heads, goodies, all that things that could give to the same box more variety.

I answered 10. Small enough to keep the price down, but large enough to make a small unit out of it. If you need more than 10, it is easy enough to buy a second box.

I would like to see 18 Cavalry Figs because I use the Osprey Rule Sets like “The Men Who Would Be King” series (TMWWBK). The TMWWBK Cavalry Units are 8 Figs each so 16 or more would be two Units & would be GREAT! Perry gives you “Causality Figs” in their Colonial Boxes! Adding 2 or 4 extra “Cavalry Causality Figures” such as a “Dead Horse & Cavalry Figure!” These Figs could be used as a decorative “Pin Markers” for your rule set adding the “WOW Factors!” As always, add Arms & Heads for an Officers, Bugles & a Guidon Bearers,

I put 12, but what would be awesome for Dragoons, AZW Natal Mounted Police / Basuthos (hint, hint), WW2 Cossacks etc. Would be a box of 6 mounted and 6 dismounted figures (or a separate box of dismounted figures). This could apply just as well for games like MESBG where you need a dismounted figure in case the mount is taken out of the game (in typical GW style, some units have NO dismounted models 😂😂)

Keep up the good work :)

12 troopers and 3 command would be ideal for my purposes.

I answered 12, but I also want to add to have the rider mounted to the saddle, so you could have the horses riderless if you wanted. Also it would give you an option to have bare back riders like some indigenous tribes were known to use.

14 is good as it gives a unit of 12 with an officer and a spare

Most ancient rules now seem to work on elements rather than individual figures ( except my rules of choice Tactica 2). Cavalry are usually on bases of 2 or 3, so 12 is a very useful number. Depending on the period a few extras to make extra command figures can be useful. Can I also suggest that one mounted figure in an infantry box is useful as a commanding officer or general.

12 is too many for me. I’m always selling off 1/3 to 1/2 the standard box of 12 so a smaller box of 8 would be great. You can always buy multiple boxes if needed.

12 is good no.and keeps price down
