If I could it would be good as table space is at a premium. I was worried I'd struggle to get more than two battalions per square. How often is this likely to happen?TimsTankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755019237122759263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654358191889198506.post-22349976186906620722013-08-20T22:03:58.851+01:002013-08-20T22:03:58.851+01:00I've based my inf. 3 to a stand 25mmx20mm (I&#...I've based my inf. 3 to a stand 25mmx20mm (I'd always intended using BKC for WW1 so base size was less important).

The great thing about grid games is the flexibility. <br /><br />My toys are based as follows: <br />Infantry 30mm x 30mm<br />Artillery, Mortars, Cavalry, Artillery 30mm x 40mm<br />HQ 40mm x 40mm<br />Tanks 40mm x 60mm<br /><br />Let me know what you think.doctorphalanxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805618584243510174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654358191889198506.post-54622386197323205372013-08-20T15:23:39.193+01:002013-08-20T15:23:39.193+01:00Seeing your 10mm SB armies convinced me this is th...Seeing your 10mm SB armies convinced me this is the scale to go with. They look great.<br /><br />What size bases are you figures on? I wondered if you went with smaller base sizes could the game be played on 4x4" grid rather than 6x6"?<br />TimsTankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755019237122759263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654358191889198506.post-42195932312171985522013-05-15T09:08:29.063+01:002013-05-15T09:08:29.063+01:00Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I once saw some 15mm SB armies which had four figures to a base, shoulder-to-shoulder. It looked positively Napoleonic.doctorphalanxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805618584243510174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654358191889198506.post-39760379262200304272013-05-14T22:49:29.044+01:002013-05-14T22:49:29.044+01:00I was wondering if 10mm would pass the visual test...I was wondering if 10mm would pass the visual test for WW1 - thanks - it does, these look very good.Everetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12814823022544174578noreply@blogger.com
