To start things off Mr. Miller, Amanda and I played four games on friday evening involving Dwarves and Elves and a cavalry heavy army of Humans. A brief report and pictures of that action can be found on my blog here: link Then Saturday evening Darrin and Amanda played a couple quick games trying out different combinations of Orcs and Elves. A brief report and a few more pictures of that action can be found on my blog here: link |

I've been following this HOTT caper of yours. T'is very impressive. I especially like the bases. Would you mind sharing the dimensions, please? |

The figures bases or the terrain tiles? For the figures I use the suggested 60mm frontage. Most infantry have a depth of 40mm so I can put two ranks on as I think it makes it look more like a "unit". Orc Warbands and hordes are on 60x60mm bases. the mounted are on 50mm or 60mm depths bases – whichever seems appropriate. One of the dragons is on a 60x80mm base. magicians 60x60. The terrain tiles are 30cmx30cm (or multiples of 30cm) mostly because I buy sheets of stuff that are 4'x8'. Because you loose a bit to the saw blade you can't get 48 1'x1' tiles- but you can get 48 30cmx30cm tiles (not that I've MADE 48 tiles just yet….). |

I'm also very impressed with your figures, and the double ranking for infantry looks far better to me (I do the same for my DBA/HOTT gaming). There are some who claim a critical aspect of the game is lost if the base depths aren't as recommended. I personally haven't missed it a lick, and much prefer the improved visual spectacle. |

"The figures bases or the terrain tiles?" It was the figure base dimensions I was after, but thanks for providing the tile specs as well. I very much like the double ranking. I believe I'll have to give this a try. Thanks again. |
