It has taken far too long to get these little fellas on a base, but I did this weekend. There's more pictures on my blog:

Very nicely done, really good job. My 6mm is on the back burner as I am all AWI at the moment!!

The Joy of Six show just times nicely with your intro to Napoleonics. Have a great time.

Are those bases designed it show fire arcs?

Thanks guys, Norm, I am sure I will. Yep, the base has the unit's firearcs, which accounts for the strange shape…

Looking good! As an aside I played Blucher for the first time on Saturday and really liked it.

Thanks, yeah, I really enjoyed our game of it. When I finish working away I will definitely have more games of it!

Had three games of Blucher so far. Love it. I saw those bases when I was looking for something to put my 6mm Napoleonics on. Have to say that I didn't like the look of them. I have a perfectly functional and simple 45 degree angle indicator, and a dab of light coloured paint marks the centre point.

Went for Warbases 'Premier' range MDF 60 x 30s in the end with 7mm dice trays to record the Elan/Ammo.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks Deephorse, that's something to think about!

You're welcome. On the Blucher Forum you will see several people using 60 x 30mm bases for their 6mm troops, often with 7mm dice trays. Using different colour dice helps you keep track of which Corps they belong to as well.
