"My 6mm North Africa bases for Rommel " Topic

I have cut then from 2mm pvc and rounded the corners coated them with pva glue and sprinkled sand. When dry sprayed them desert colour

I am not too keen to use the cards so for the tracking I am putting three tanks or infantry bases with the eventual removal when the unit suffers a hit and restore the model when its reorganized . the cards could be kept handy as regards combat value and armour strength
its the unit ID that I need to sort out

Very nice!

So the unit cards (sorry don't have the rules) in your system here can ride along with a stand to be seen/used, or tucked under a stand to stay remote, and not clutter the board if not needed?

Is that standard Rommel, or your idea?

Well my preference is to hide the card.
The game can be played without models using just cards
The card is intended to be marked for casualties but I am removing the models
This is my first game eventually I intend to do without cards

Looks great!

I don't like the cards either, but I compromised by just printing out a paper with a narrow strip that has the three strength boxes and any silhouettes of any unit attributes.

Wish I'd thought of your stand or castings removal idea!

Inspiring. Makes me wish I had gone with 6mm for WWII rather than 15mm. I have not purchased Rommel yet, but I am sorely tempted.

6mm is a great scale for WW2. Small enough to give a feel of big battles but large enough to id weapon types. I would suggest some magnetism to help your stands stick a little to the big unit bases.

I have asked a quote for 3x2 rounded corners 1mm metal laser cut bases but at €1.25 EUR each and I need minimum 100 it's an unnecessary cost
