Looking for nice circular bases for my 6mm toys. What do people use here?

I want bases for fire teams, 8-10 man squads, single guns

Thanks

Warbases do all sizes on circular bases and sabots.

They ship worldwide too.

Yea, just sent them an email. That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Well done that man.

Washers. Cheap, plentiful, available to my local Ace either singly or in boxes.

Well, if the costs for all the bases I need are pricey I might go that route of using washers.

Washers are cheap, but have a hole in the middle, which is a problem I hate having to solve (esp. for 6mm minis).

Pennies are literally the cheapest weighted round basing material available in the US, though they only come in one size (19mm). The same appears to be true of UK pennies, and since 1992 they've been stamped from steel, so they're also magnetic.

When I wanted 1" disks several years ago, I got a bag of "wooden cutouts" from a store like this.

So, does anyone with experience know what size circular slots I'd need for sabot bases using WW2 6mm infantry?

I'm not entirely sure myself

Thanks
