The pictures I've seen for Tusk in 6mm show multiple figures per base (which seems pretty logical, being 6mm and all). However, how do such bases work in the rules? Is each base considered a single figure for activation, etc., or are there other ways of handling this?

Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

You activate the base whether it's one figure or a group makes no difference.

How many figures/bases would you need in an average game?

Irregular Miniatures 6mm cavemen come five to a strip, I tend to cut the strip up to spread the figures out over the base. So say five tusk bases each with five figures on (25 figures/5 strips £1.50 GBPp).

Basic game about 5 bases with two to five human figures or only one figure if you're using a hero base for each player, then depending on size of game you want just increase number of bases.

In Tusk the basic game "The Hunt" each player has 10 points to build their force which could be between three to ten (if you only used ten bases of dogs) bases depending on force make-up.
