experiments to find a better way to mount aircraft for wargaming.
Some of you may have wondered why the figures that I've been showing for my AK47 armies are based on individual bases, rather than on the usual 30mm x 30mm bases used by that ruleset.
Well, I hate to hate any army tied to a single set of rules, so my theory has been to use 30mm x 30mm magnetic bases under the steel bases when playing AK47.
So I took some spare steel bases (from Wargames Accessories), and a plastic base that came with my AK47 boxed army from Peter Pig, and figured out how the figures would have to fit on the magnetic base.
Then I made a sketch, putting in some distances that I had calculated, and specifying holes where I would insert magnets. I sent the plan to Litko, and had them make some clear acrylic bases to match.
