My colonial troops are 15mm, based 3 to a base. Is this suitable for TMWWBK, or are the rules designed for individually based figures? |

You can use these. You will need to mark individual casualties but otherwise the rules should work. |

What Vigilant said and should you wish there are nice casualty figures out there- or just use counters. |

Or you could use a base of three models as a single 'figure' and have, for example, 12 bases (36 figures) in a regular infantry unit. Depends on how many figures you have. To give you an idea of army totals, in a 24 point force you might have up four regular infantry units, or as many as 8 tribal units (at 16 per unit). |

So, regular units are normally 12 strong and tribals are 16? And the normal way to play would be to remove individual figures as casualties? |

reg and Irr infantry are 12 figs. Tribal infantry are 16 figs. Reg and Irreg cav are 8 figs. Tribal cav are 10 figs. Single fig removal for casualties. |

And, just for completeness, all crewed weapons (field guns, machine guns etc) typically have 4 crew figures according to the rules, though I've seen some games where heavier pieces had 6, for extra impact. |

My Zulus are multi-based (4 to a base). I either remove a base and replace with single figures when casualties are taken, or use as 1/2/3 wound marker. Either works |

And those are the recommended unit sizes. You can use lesser figs. if you wish. |

Has anyone tried using larger units. I.e. A British section of 20-25 men lead by a Sgt, presumably with Zulu units proportionally larger? |
