Hello,
I have painted miniatures for five years now, and I have recently started to paint Napoleonic soldiers in 28mm. I have already painted a couple of units, and now comes th question of the bases.
There are two games I am interested in: SP2 and BP. The problem is that the first requires you to remove casualties individually whereas the second requires bases for companies of four figures. How can play both games with the same bases ?
I am interested to read your method to solve this problem.

Base the figs individually and then mount those bases in groups. Have a look at some of the SP2 games around…and look at Warbases company (Google them….but believe they are Warbases.com. have a look at their single (2p for SO…) and group bases…you can choose a group of 8 in 2 rows of 4 or a single 4… |

Black Powder doesn't require any specific basing.
At most it's concerned with frontages.
And even then only that both sides be similar (not exact even).
But movement trays will allow you to move the figures faster. |
