Uhmm, who is using Adler ?
I'm thinking to use 40mm x 25mm basis but I would like to use 3 ranks for the french (which means tons of figures)
How many figures you put to a basis ? and do you brake the strips ? and how many cavalry ?
Sam, the book is excellent. A pleasure to flip through. Bravo.

Adler come on strips with each figure behind the one in front, rather than side by side (like Baccus ones do), so you'll have to break up strips into individual figures anyway.
Hi Nick
Yes, I know that. What I'm curious about is (once you brake the strip) how many Adler figures people are placing on a 40x25 basis. And how many cavalry would they cram.
thanks

I'm also wondering this. I just bought my first adlers. I'm thinking 2 x 6 on a base for inf, and I'm using the same size bases as you.
Hi Rusti
Originally I was thinking something like that, but 6 figures to 40mm is basically the effect you get without snipping the figures out of the strip. Which is sort of ok, but I would like to get more of the mass effect.
Of course, if I snip the figs and base 7-8 per raw (and I would like 3 raw for the french) it will take me ages. Still, I think it pays, so I wanted to know if there is someone that crazy out there, just so that I know I'm not alone.
For my Nap POW 6mm stuff (mostly Adler), I based them on 30x15mm bases, and had 2 or 3 rows of 6 figures. You'd easily be able to get another couple per row. For cavalry, I think I had about 5 or 6 figures on a base, but I can't remember whether I had 1 or 2 rows of cavalry, and can't remember what size the bases were for cavalry (all my 6mm stuff is back in England). I know I had something like 2 or 3 cannon on each artillery base though.
Hei Nick
That is quite a lot of stuff on 30x15 !!
I was thinking to mount 2 rows marching and the front row advancing. That's why I believe I need to go for a 25mm base deep.
I don't mind a 30mm frontage though.
thanks

Robert:
I'm using 40mm x 20mm bases for my Adler figures. I use 21 figures total. 3 ranks of 7.

Hi Robert,
I am using Baccus figs. Just finished striping the French off their 60x60's. Planning on using 40x30.
How many figs, well if your going to do it enmass nothing like 24 figs per base. Placing them 2 strips wide, 3 strips deep (4 per strip)
Cavalry will be 2 rows of 5 on a 40x30.
So that will give me 96 Infantry per unit and 40 Cavalry per unit. Now try that in any other scale.
Will be posting the progess on my blog (Post the link later when I start the project)
I have 2 6mm armies I've used them for many different rule set , but they are based at 1:20 and I usually just reduce ranges etc.
For Lasalle I will use 1BW = 1" and it should work OK.
Using 32 figure units.
I'm painting 15mm at the moment.
Thanks for the pics Keith! The first of the 6mm armies posted. I'm 1/2 through painting my first 6mm Austrians (getting ready for Christmas is killing my painting time, but what are you going to do).
Beautiful pic and thank you all
I would still like to stay on a 30mm frontage, so that it stays versatile in case I want game other rules.
Dale, on a 40mm frontage, how many cavalry do you mount ?
thanks
again
