Mark,
we used a system for the big weekender game which categorized units as follows:
All Musket - as per BLB
Pike & Shot - normal ratios of representation as per BLB
2:1 muskets to pike
1:1 muskets to pike
1:2 muskets to pike
All pike
The last 4 designations are of course new. The rules are modifiec to reflect casualty distribution and shooting/comabt capability. That will be included in the Ireland supplement. As far as representation is concerned the rules will not be prescriptive as the designation (above) is noted on the Roster and is simply referred to during shooting/combat. From an aesthetics perspective, I used 3 stand units with central stand pikes (ie no rear pike stand) for 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2. For All pike I used 3 stand units will all pikes! examples of the latter in the Warfare Gallery.
Hope this clarifies.
