Yet Again!
Last year I finalised my review of this and concluded to use double the width required and double the depth with 1 figure now replaced by a stand of 2 x 2.
This week I got annoyed at how long this project was taking and the psychological block so many figures was to my building and painting my units. So I have decided to meet in the middle and go with double the width thereby making my units 24 figures instead of 48. The original rules call for 12!
I will however still increase the depth from 5mm basing to 8mm to give more stability but the figures will be in 1 rank instead of 2.
Here is a british line battalion in line on the new basing
And here is the comparison from the original decision of 2 x 2 on 10mm base to 2 x 1 on 8mm base.
Now I will move ahead and rebase the entire British 1st (Guards) Division.

Hi I am about to embark on a project for Empire V as well. So what exactly did you settle on for the base sizes. I saw they were 8mm deep, but what frontage. Also what sizes did you do for cav and art etc. I think I will also double up unit size for visual effect, to 24 figures and just remove 2 for 1 on casualties. Do you have any more pictures from this project of yours. Many thanks
