Re: DBA in 6mm

> Guys, does anyone know what the "industry standard" is for basing 6mm?

Baccus advocates 60mm wide by 30mm deep. I have heard of people using 6mm and
basing on 25mm. I believe Baccus sells figures for that style basing.

Warmaster is 40mm by 20mm, and people have been known to use 6mm for that rules
system.

60 mm is the equivalent of 15mm 40mm, it is the de facto 'standard' It looks great but can work out a bit more expensive. The good thing is that you can...

I agree, dense packed 6mm on 15mm scale bases -- 40mm frontage. Baccus are bigger than the H&R that I use so you might get only 3 times the number of troops...
