Scale
GROUND SCALE: All distances in these rules are given in paces. One inch on the table represents 10 paces if using 25 millimetre figures, 20 paces for 15 millimetre figures.

FIGURE SCALE: An infantry or cavalry figure represents roughly 20 to 25 men in four or five ranks. An elephant or chariot model represents four real life equivalents.

TIME SCALE: There is no formal time scale for these rules.

Basing
All figures should be based in element sized groups, except that each infantry or cavalry unit should have one element of singly based figures to allow the removal of casualties. An infantry or cavalry general model should be based as a single figure.
