Greetings
In order to use the new Pendraken 10mm range and be usable for a number of different rule sets I am pondering a basing approach for maximum flexibility:
Infantry: 4 infantry 2x2 on 15mm x 15mm bases
Cavalry: 3 infantry 3x1 on 30mm x 20mm bases
Artillery: 1 gun and crew on 30mm x ? base
The bases would probably be thin 0.8mm ply on magnetic strip. I'd then have a number of thin steel sabot bases as movement trays for the infantry with 30mm and 45mm frontage and 15mm or 20mm depth.
Corps games: about 1:60 ratio
(a) French infantry and weaker Austrian battalions based in divisions on 3 x 30mm sabot (24 figures)
(b) Large Austrian infantry battalions based in divisions on 3 x 45mm sabot (36 figures)
(c) Cavalry based on 30mm bases/sabots, usually 3-4 per unit (9-12 figures)
(d) 6 gun batteries with a model on a 30mm sabot/base, 8 gun on a 45mm sabot
Brigade games: about 1:15 ratio
(a) French infantry and weaker Austrian battalions based by company on 6 x 30mm sabot (48 figures)
(b) Large Austrian infantry battalions based by company on 6 x 45mm sabot (72 figures)
(c) Cavalry based on 30mm sabots usually 3+ per squadron (9+ figures)
(d) One gun per 30mm base/sabot
Lasalle
All units based on 30mm bases/sabots but with 4 and 6 for normal and larger units (32/48 infantry and 12/18 cavalry).
Does this make sense?
