Venetian colonial army

We've started playing basic impetus and are on to our first game of Impetus this Friday. I'm thinking of building a Venetian colonial army for 2nd half of 15th century. It'll be a bit before I can get my hands on the army list, but I'm wondering about what I should be thinking of in terms of lead for these guys. I'm assuming there are a lot of elmeti and a lot of stradiots with some foot crossbowmen and arquebusiers. Anything else? Artillery?

This will be for 28mm. How many mounted men-at-arms do people usually put on a stand?

Thanks,

Hi I have been playing 28 mm Italian Wars and have Swiss and French armies but also a Milanese variation.

For the CP I find five mounted 28mm are fine, but my personal preference for the CL is to have 3 figures but know others have got 2 .

Interestingly on the foot side if you are doing T shooter units there are some options - I originally based my T units with 10 figures but as these can be a VBU 3 and also can be interpenetrated think it is too many and am now reducing this, I have seen examples of 5 figures as a T shooter that looked fine.

Hope this helps .. I am also looking to add a Venetian option as a project for 2015 !

Yes, thanks! For maa I was thinking 4 wasn't enough and 6 might not fit comfortably. I'll get some painted up and see how it goes.
