Following on from yesterday's post a night on the brushes and the first force is complete without the need for that many new additions, shout out if you think you can spot the new recruits...
I opted for the New Order Army First as they were the closest to the European forces in terms of structure and organisation.

The Nizam-i-Jedid
Created by Selim to counter the Janissaries the Nizam-i-Jedid or New Order Army was to become a Corp of some 24,000 men armed and drilled in a European style, often commanded by officers of French, English or Prussian origin.
Attempts to move the Janissaries to this model failed and resulted in a number of revolts, the Nizam according to correspondents of the day claim they were a mixed bag yet it was the Nizim's that stopped Napoleon at Acre.
I figured the following formation within Sharp Practice would be a good representation on the table top, giving a core Infantry formation with some Skirmishers to screen the formation.
Leader Status III
Three Groups of 8 Regulars, Muskets.
Leader Status II
Leader I
Two Groups of 6 Irregular Skirmishers, Rifle Armed.
66 Points
