Hey Sam,
From the pictures, it looks like the infantry skirmishers are on smaller bases. Can you tell me the size you are using?
Thanks, Mark

Mark,
I didn't specify because it will vary with peoples' figure sizes, but mine are 15mm, and the SK bases are small: two SK figures on a 10mm X 20mm base.
When using 28mm figures, it would probably look better to use a single-mounted skirmisher for a SK "base."
Hiya
Being a slow painter and wanting to use my figs for some other sets I'm organising my skirmishers as one/two of the stands of the actual unit.
So a unit of 4 stands will have some of them depicted as skirmishers to show the unit's skirmishing power.
From what I've seen so far this should work in the rules and will get my army on the table faster (while allowing my army to use other rules sets).
I'll post some pics when I get a few units completed this way.

Yep, that's a perfectly reasonable option, especially with smaller figures on larger bases.
Hi Sam
I gather from your post that your 15mm SK bases are 20mm (wide) x 10mm (deep). Is this correct?

Stephen
Correct.
Thanks Sam,
Looking forward to getting my hands on the rules!

Stephen
What size of base do you use for commanders? 20x20?
What Ive been doing is Inf and Cav on a 40 x 30mm base, skirmishers on a 20 x 30mm base (cut a full base in half), officers on 30 x 30mm and artillery is on a 40mm x 40mm.
This keeps everything easy to put away on shelves/boxes etc as everything fits 40mm or 30mm wide spaces.
cheers
Hi,
i like to differentiate between markers and combatants. Generals and skirmishers are effectively markers - so I have my skirmishers on 40mm rounds (one base per SK) and Generals likewise on a 25mm round for Brigadiers and 40mm for Division. I will have 50mm for larger games to represent the overall commander - really only a counter, but a pretty one. My causualty/disr markers are likewise on round bases.
Dave is right though - rectilinear stuff is far easier to store and transport. Circiroundular not so - but is immediately recognisable.
