Close order foot; 7.5mm frontage, 15mm deep Cavalry, light-med infantry; 10mm, 25mm Light infantry; 15mm, 20mm Light cavalry; 15mm, 25mm Elephants; 20mm, 40mm They also did an 18mm scale basing which worked well for larger 15mm figures and may now have become the new standard for 15mm. I will post that scale later and you can make your choice.

Now the 18mm scale goes like this: Close order foot: frontage 10mm, depth 15mm Light medium infantry; 13 and a third mm, 20mm Light infantry; 20mm and 20mm these then bacame the standards for the 'elements' of DBM rules Super heavy catapharacts; 10mm, 30mm medium & heavy cavalry; 13 and a third mm, 30mm light cavalry; 20mm, 30mm elephants; 27mm, 40mm 4 horse chariots; 40mm, 40mm

Use 40mm frontage on all bases. 40x15mm 4 figures for Close Order Infantry. 40x20mm 3 figures for Medium Infantry Infantry and 2 figures for Skirmish Infantry. Cavalry is 40mm Frontage with 30mm depth with 3 horses for HC and MC and 2 figures for LC. This baseing is compatible with all major rules sets. DON'T try to base individual for 15mm. It just doesn't work. I've started baseing double depth on the HI/MI as you deploy them that way anyway. MUCH EASIER.
