However, the more I think of it the more I'm convinced to go down the route of double ranks for all armies on smaller bases.<br /><br />The main reason is to have smaller depth of units, so I can easily place reserve battalions a bit back (given the size of my kitchen table). This would be to have two strips on a 30x15 base with two bases for a battalion.<br /><br />The old glory strips of five do look the business!<br /><br />At the moment I've just been buying selections of various manufacturers to see what I like.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909580539526966279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645389520223183069.post-50384727091439741632010-08-14T04:39:53.696+01:002010-08-14T04:39:53.696+01:00Hi Ken, just joined, outstanding Blog I must say! ...Hi Ken, just joined, outstanding Blog I must say! The problem of basing - it's a personal thing, you must just decide- it is hard!- and go with your preference. I went with mine to show the difference in frontage with 2/3 ranks, but have been thinking for some time of rebasing (about 8,000 figures)into single Btn bases of a 4"x1" base, to take 40 OG figures (they come in 1" strips of 5 figures each). If you are using single figures, then you have a lot more choice, and thus more possibilities to decide on. It's always difficult isn't it!<br />Regards,Peelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521359600373293438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645389520223183069.post-51618457716200805212010-08-05T17:04:45.080+01:002010-08-05T17:04:45.080+01:00I think some have gone for triple ranks and these ...I think some have gone for triple ranks and these look very blocky.<br /><br />Peeler, has done this.<br /><br />http://peelerswargamespage.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Lord Ashram is probably closest to my ideas on basing, but I'll have a smaller base.<br /><br />http://lordashramshouseofwar.blogspot.com/2009/01/10mm-nap-french-old-guard-1.html<br /><br />As I say building up a 10mm army is to reduce the footprint of my units on the table and hopefully fight bigger battles.<br /><br />KenKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909580539526966279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645389520223183069.post-75033939177286569902010-08-05T11:24:41.855+01:002010-08-05T11:24:41.855+01:00Hi Ken,
