Would this be the correct way to base a french line btn
4 bases (40mm frontage and 2 ranks of 4 figs) Line
1 base (40mm frontage and 2 ranks of 4) Voltigeurs
1 base (40mm frontage and 2 ranks of 4) Grenadiers
or should I be split the elites to only 2 ranks of 2 and add 2 ranks of 2 Line infantry on them to
hope that makes sense....
Well, if I understand you correctly, you've got 6 bases there. A French BN in Lasalle will only have 4 bases.
I recommend you go to the DOWNLOADS page and download the "Units and Formations in Lasalle" pages, and that should answer all your questions.
And those 4 bases (1 battalion) represent one unit from the core list on the Army Builder?
Right
If it helps I am currently building my French army. My basing is 4 bases of 3x2, I am basing 1 base of grenadiers the. The rest fusiliers. Ia assume the voltigeurs are deployed and will use them as skirmishers.
Saying that my later units are all going to be either all fusiliers or 4 figures for each company spread through the bases.
Just my way of doing it.

sorry my mistake
I did mean 2 line and not 4
and I just feel that 2 of fusiliers, 1 voltigeurs and 1 grenadier is a little heavy on elites. I may go with my gut feeling on splitting the elite bases to 4 elite and 4 fusilier. Alternatively I like your idea simon
ohhh the choices...
Im basing my French 28mm's; 4 inf figs (2x2) on a 2" stand; 3 stands of Fusiliers; 1 stand of grenadiers per battalion/unit; I will throw out single skirmishers according to the sk# for the unit...typically two voltigere skirmishers for a french line unit...
