Hello Everyone - I've been considering purchasing a copy of the General de Brigade 3 Deluxe Edition. I've also been talking to someone about basing and organization within various rules. GdB came up and I knew nothing about the basing or organization. Is there a web site out there that has this available? I tried Goggling it but had no luck. Thanks,
Larry |

Since the original question was answered, I'd like to expand on the info found there and ask – isn't 15mm width per figure too tight? |

I found the blogspot one not long after posting, but never did see the happymice one. I now know the ratio and such but what about formations? "BASE UNIT: Basic units are battalions for infantry, companies or squadrons for cavalry and batteries for artillery. In addition officer figures are required." How many stands/bases per unit type info? Still haven't found info on this. |

This you will have to buy the book to find out. |

These two information are all you need to know how units in GdB are based. "Figure/Base Ratio: 1 figure = 20 men" "25mm Figures
* Infantry: 15mm wide per figure, mounted in two ranks, six or eight figures per base.
* Cavalry: 20mm wide per figure, two or three per base" |

GdB does not go in for generic units sizes as per Lasalle for example. Each base in an infantry unit normally represents a company so French units at full strength are 6 bases of 6, Prussians/Russians 4 of 8 Austrians 6 of 8. These can be adjusted to represent campaign strengths. Cavalry squadrons 4/6/8 strong with 2-4 per regiment generally speaking. |

15mm is 1 cm per figure frontage, based in 4s, 6s or 8s depending on the nationality and how you intend to remove /mark casulaties. they are nice rules for a divisional level game, but I was a tad disappointed with the paper used – its rather light and thin compared to some other rules Ive bought recently. |
