Hi all - first post for me on this forum.
I'm planning to pick up a copy of Lasalle at Cold Wars, but I have a question about coordinating basing with my local gamers. There are several of the guys that I game with who have existing 15mm armies, but depending on the players, the armies are based either for the old 'Empire' or 'Napoleon Battles' standard - i.e., infantry stands that are 1 1/8" wide with 3 figures in a single row, or ones that are 3/4" wide with 4 figures in two rows.
Now, of course, nobody wants to rebase, so I was wondering if it is possible for everyone to still play against each other with these armies. My thought is that it might be reasonable to use a BW of 1", and then just go from there. In addition, would it be conceivable to run a tournament with people showing up with armies based to both of these standards?
Anyway, even it rebasing does eventually become necessary, it would be great to have an universally accepted standard to use - especially if tournaments at places like Historicon become a regular event.
Thanks
