Have seen the cover for Warhammer, Great War, was wondering about figure scale, basing, ground scale, etc. Anyone know about these rules? What does a base represent? Thanks! |

figure scale, 1:1
basing, whatever you fancy, 25mm round usually
ground scale. it's warhammer, no ground scale
What does a base represent, something that stops the mini from falling over. It's a game not a simulation, if you are concerned about any of the above you might want to look else where. |

I thought figure scale was 1:3? Damon. |

1 figure represents ~3 or 4 men. I'm using 15mm figures, so my stands have 3 or 4 figures on them and since I'm being different the stands are close in size and shape to the small sized FOW stands (looked better the the smaller stands I tried the first go-round. Ground scale escapes me, but it is Warhammer… |

Bases represent contact in close combat, by the way. |

Battalion level gaming.
1 figure = 3 men
Basic Maneuver element is a platoon. |

THE GREAT WAR RULES WERE ORIGIONALLY WRITTEN AS 1 TO 1 RULES BUT GW WANTED A BIGGER SCALE SO THEY BECAME A 1 TO 3 GAME,BUT STILL PLAY AS 1 TO 1.A PLATOON IN THE RULES IS REALLY ASQUAD AND SO ON. |
