Confederate cavalry in 15mm

I have just finished the next batch of figures required for my 15mm American Civil war armies, with the last two stands of confederate cavalry.

In our preferred 'games rules system, Volley and Bayonet, when ACW cavalry dismount they are represented by linear 'foot' stands. I am currently (internally) debating how many figures to place on each stand.. six? Eight? Nine? You can fit 12 figures on a base, but I think that will be too many, as it suggests a full infantry regiment equivalent, and for obvious reasons a dismounted cavalry regiment would be smaller in number. I am erring towards six of seven. I need to make up my mind before I order the figures.
