Order of Battle for Mudki

This is the order of Battle for Mudki the first engagement of the Anglo Sikh War.  It follows Ampal Singh Sidhu's recent scholarship.  Units are scaled for Piquet Field of Battle(FOB), four stands of infantry or cavalry per unit and two stands for a cavalry wing or an artillery battery.  The other info' is for FOB in 15mm.  I prepared it for an upcoming game and thought it might be useful to others too.
