Wider hasn't made any difference in play that we've found, just means measuring angle of move/fire is more awkward. I should have paid more attention when I saw your game last WMMS - I thought they were four figs or two for a skirmish base!Toxic Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610996381605071743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197168174795670409.post-27756211284871986132018-02-23T05:42:28.561-08:002018-02-23T05:42:28.561-08:00I think 6 10mm figs to a 25mm square look ok - not...I think 6 10mm figs to a 25mm square look ok - not too cramped for 19th Century warfare. All of my 10mm RJW are 4 figs based on 30x15mm. IMO upto 30mm wide is fine for BBB especially if refighting historical battles. <br /><br />Have a look at the Magenta blog as this has the figures on the 25mm square bases. http://twomarshals.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/magenta-1859-using-bloody-big-battles.htmlalanmillicheaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355864832843338398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197168174795670409.post-58839921237843009922018-02-22T13:07:39.951-08:002018-02-22T13:07:39.951-08:00Ah yes, I now realise this is the battle report fr...Ah yes, I now realise this is the battle report from, errr, some time ago :)<br /><br />I’m tempted to rebase the Italians I have who are six to a FoW sized 30mm by 25mm (I think) base...<br /><br />Do six figures look ok on a 25mm square?

This helped the Austrians as they could form a solid defensive line.<br /><br />Now that I've seen the BBB Light everything is being rebased to 6 figs on a 25x25mm base. It's a pain rebasing but on the bright side for every 3 old-style bases I get 5 BBB bases. Today I am also putting £1 in the painting kitty every time I type the word base.alanmillicheaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355864832843338398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197168174795670409.post-80155716355783172982018-02-22T10:10:32.892-08:002018-02-22T10:10:32.892-08:00Crikey, well done the Austrians!
