Hello!
Due to the variety of vehicles our group plays FOF in both 20 and 28mm. Yes its a pain in the ass but what the hell! What in your guys opinion is the best basing option for 20mm figures? Thanks in advance!

I've always just used US pennies. They're affordable, common, and offer sufficient weight to keep figures stable. Having all of my figures stepping on Lincoln is a plus as well!

Pennies and those bases that hold 3/4/5/6 figures on penny bases…….

Similar to these ..

We used minibits bases,
Round ones, hexagons, squared etc. about 2cm.
To visually differentiate better, irregulars and leaders.

And to avoid having the place too cramped, used 1"= 3 or 4 cm. works way better with the terrain.
You have to re size the tables to it though. Not very hard.

Pennies or 1/8x3/4" fender washers work very well.
