Currently
3 x Russian battalions
1 x Russian Dragoons
4 x Russian guns
4x British battalions
1x French battalion
Some rifle men
Small unit Hussars.

I would suggest trying some of the assaults on the Russian trenches or the Quarry. You could also try a Russian sortie against the British trenches.
Another option is to try a game based on Little Inkerman.
I've written a number of scenarios for the period for the Four Empires rules but they are generally for slightly larger forces then you have although depending how large your regiments are perhaps they could be split into smaller units to give you more brigades? I'm not sure when Four Empires will be released as they seem to keep getting pushed back to allow other publications to have precedence.
Cheers
Dave

Dave, any news on the Four Empires rules in terms of a penciled in release date/how they are developing?

They've been pushed back in the production line at the moment Darrell to concentrate on the Irish books. Barry 'the fat controller' would be the best person to comment on the production schedule.

Thanks for the answer Dave
That's what I expected, and running Warfare too will take it's toll on old father time too.
Still, I'm looking forward to it when it does arrive
