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:

Cavalry sets come with a sprue of larger bases (45 mm x 60 mm, 45 mm x 40 mm, 45 mm x 20 mm):

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:

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.
