There are many variations depending on the figures animation and the equipment being carried. |

Assuming you mean the green plastic bases that come in the 28mm plastic figures boxes, they are in two sizes, 45m x 40mm and 45mm x 20mm. |

Assuming you mean the green plastic bases that come in the 28mm plastic figures boxes, they are in two sizes, 45m x 40mm and 45mm x 20mm. For the infantry sets, that is, plus there are also single 15 mm x 20 mm and 30 mm x 20 mm bases per sprue. Exact specifications on the Perry website: link Cavalry sets come with a sprue of larger bases (45 mm x 60 mm, 45 mm x 40 mm, 45 mm x 20 mm): link Not sure what they put into artillery sets, as I do not have those. WWII sets, ACW Union skirmishers and maybe some other sets come with round plastic bases: link All of the bases are manufactured by Renedra, and should be available also from them. |

Right you are, GB. The Perry "standard" seems to be that foot figures will be on 15mm frontage and 20mm depth (so the 45mm x 40mm deep stands are for two ranks of 3), and mounted figures on 20mm frontage x 45mm depth (1, 2, or 3 figures per base). |

And supposedly those bases match with the basing standard of the rules set "General de Brigade" or so I have been told by other on TMP – I have never laid my hands on these rules so cannot confirm it myself. They might also match up with some other rules out there, but with none that I am interested in, so I have mainly ended cutting up my spare bases for all sorts of conversion material. |
