Those of you who use these rules, what base size is recommended for 15mm. Can't find anything in the rules. I cannot log in to their forum right now.

4cm bases for infantry and 5 cm bases for cavalry all in 28mm. You can do one of 2 things.

1) Use 28mm basing and put 15mm figures in two ranks. Perhaps use a 4cmX3cm base for infantry and a 5cmX3cm for cavalry.

2) 15mm figures are approximately 60% size of 28mm. So a base would be 2.4cm for infantry and 3cm for cavalry. That roughly works out to 1" square for infantry and 3cm square for cavalry.

I hope that helps.

I used R&F for a couple battles. We used 1" basing. 4 infantry or 2 cavalry per base. Guns on 1.5" base, 2 per battery.

Sold my collection to Marc "extra crispy", but it looked great.
