There is a bit about them in another post on this blog:<br />http://avonnapoleonicfellowship.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/shako-anf.html<br /><br />Base sizes are pretty flexible, within reason, as the rules focus on 'units'. Ours are based about the same; 40 mm wide x 45 mm deep for two cavalry figures; 45–50 mm x 22.5 mm for three infantry figures and 60–80 mm wide x as needed (from 60–80 mm) for one or two gun models and 5–6 artillerists.<br /><br />A 'standard' unit is 18 figs for infantry, 12 figs for cavalry and a base for an artillery battery. We scale the figure scale up or down from 3:1 to 50:1 depending on the size of the action to generate units from army lists. Ground scale is either 1 mm to 1 m or 2 mm to 1 m. We do not adjust the movement or firing if we change the ground scale as we are moving from a unit as about a battalion to a unit as about a regiment and it comes out about right. We have found that sticking to one turn being around 30 minutes makes everything work out about right at either scale.<br /><br />I hope that helps (and makes sense!)<br /><br />JamesJames Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-59384308086693533532013-10-22T19:14:46.351+08:002013-10-22T19:14:46.351+08:00Wonderful!
