Wondering how you base your 10mm figures for F&F. I have 4000 of them some based three in front three in back the I have some 5 to a base all jumbled up.

4-6 (most are 6) to a base measuring 1 x 3/4" for Fire & Fury.

I have 3-5 per base. All based for Fire and Fury for the Brigade and Regimental games on 1"x3/4" bases.

2x2 on a 20mm square base. Works for F&F, OTR, TWF, MLW. Doesn't really work for RFF or BFF, but people who mess with their own basing systems don't deserve or get my support.

I use map board and then glue the figures down.

for 10mm ….
I went with 26mm x 13mm ( 1' x 1/2") for BF&F 2nd ed..
It is stable for 10s ( 15s not) and gave the liner thin line 2 rank formation of the period's look. ( and works great for RF&F).
link was how I started – Per ACW Bill's plans

then I changed to the single rank mounting I describe above, per seen here:

Good luck

Nice work MarshalGreg!

For my command stands, I put 2 standards….one the regular battle flag and the other a regimental flag in case I want to do a different battle scale.

My 10mm American Civil War Project may be of interest to you.

As always, comments are appreciated.

Take care

I do 8 figures in 2 rows of 4. Makes a tight battle line and a proper 4 wide column.

8 men to a base in 2 ranks looks right, for all scales even down to one to one which we have played twice.
