I just have some questions to see if I want to get it. My roommate and I have fall in love with G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T.
The questions I have are as follows:
What size base for artillery, infantry and vehicles?
How many miniatures/bases are used in an average game?
Does the game work well for interwar period?

Glad to hear you have become GASLIGHT fans!

The standard unit base size in LSNC: WWII is 3" x 1.5" . A player usually controls a battalion of about 12-15 bases. We use 10mm figures and put 2 vehicles or 10 infantry on a base. Folks have also used the rules with everything from 2mm to 20mm figures, just adjusting the numbers of figures used to fit the bases.
I would think the rules would work fine for interwar.

So artillery is two guns to a base I take it?

Chris Palmer04 Nov 2014 9:57 a.m. PST

Yes, that is what we do. Though it ultimately depends on your choice of scale and what looks good to you. 15mm players put only one, 6mm players may put 3 if they think it looks better.

You might also want to look at the photos on our Yahogroup for more examples if basing:

To help during the games, I usually mount my heavy guns with two on a base and my light and medium guns with one on a base. This allows me to look across the table and find the heavy guns quickly.

Buck is talking about the Napoleonic rules in his comment, which uses a slightly different basing than the WWII does.

How is Cavalry based in World War 2? I prefer to fight the Eastern Front over the Western. The Russians used a ton of cavalry during the war so that is why I ask.

On the same basic 3" x 1.5" stand

Wobniar Citsalp04 Nov 2014 10:37 p.m. PST

I meant number of figures.

Chris Palmer05 Nov 2014 3:21 a.m. PST

I put 5 or 6 10mm cavalry figures on each base.
