Scale

It is intended for soldiers as small as 15mm, and as tall as 30mm. If you use larger figures and / or a larger space, double the moves. Likewise, if your space is very small, then measure in centimeters rather than inches.

Basing

For 25mm to 30mm figures, most players tray their men at one-inch intervals so that each controls a 1” by 1” area. Cavalry controls 1” by 1½”

For 15mm to 20mm, some prefer to have a ½ inch interval. Cavalry gets ½” by 1 inch. Of course, some use ¾” and 1”. Some who use 20mm might stick to 1” and 1½” for cavalry.
