I really can't tell you own difficult this was to rebase these figures. Nearly all of the miniatures were plastered to metal washers, then glued to the thick wooden bases. Here is an example of that type of basing. Nightmare. As usual, click for larger images. You can also right click and open in a new window for the largest image resolution.
Republican Army
The rebased army is made up of 15mm figures with mainly Freikrop figures, but also Minifigs, Musket Miniatures, Frontier, and Old Glory ACW figures can be found mixed in.
18 Infantry Regiments
7 Cavalry Regiments
3 Artillery Batteries
4 limbers
4 Brigade Leaders and two more getting painted. (round bases)
1 CinC
The entire army (below)

Infantry
Except for about three units, each Juarista unit has 2 to 4 different figures per base with each figure's uniform being unique. Makes for an interesting and motley group!
8 Line infantry regiments
10 National Guard infantry regiments
Line Regiments

More angles and a close up shot.
National Guard Regiments
I will likely use labels with names of locations rather than the generic National Guard 1, National Guard 2, etc that I used before.
Cavalry
4 Regiments of Line Cavalry
3 Regiments of National Guard Cavalry
The NG cavalry are in the column on the table (3 regiments), while the second column closer to the right is the Line regiments.
Artillery
3 batteries (various calibers)
These are in front of the Line battalions along with the oxen limbers in the rear of the column.
Photos are combined with the line infantry at the top of the post
What is Left to Do?
I have enough extra figures to paint up two more infantry units, one batteries, and one or two more cavalry units. None of which are needed to game at this point in time. I do have to put labels on the units in the near future.
Now I just have to get these back on the table!!
