Hey larry ,I think we have met once before at a CMH meeting you and Hugh were having a renaisance game. Nice to meet you again ! ,Ive been looking at vis...
Hi all. I am a 'regular tourist' to the world of Vis Bellica - while I wouldnt necessarily class myself as a historical wargamer, VB is something that catches...
... In theory but i have never seen toops based that way ... All my 6mm figures are based on 60 by 30s and I have to say it works well as to formation I use...
Thanks for your comments. I assume that, while you use '15mm' basing standards, the other measurements are true 6mm distances... I will steal and adapt your...
As a PS... I am sure that I picked up some nice, metal basing sets from the VB web site a while ago... but I cant seem to find them anymore. Are these still...

Any word on what people are using for bases (6cm x 3cm)? Does the VB website still stock the metal basing sets, and if not then what are people using...
Hi Iain I am using 6mm and using 15mm bases, with 15mm move distances, after all the base is just a footprint so it doesnt really matter too much what is on...
Personally I use a mixture of artboard bases and some 2mm MDF one bought from www.eastridingminiatures.co.uk (these bases are also available through Baccus6mm...
Thanks. This is something that struck me last night... surely the number of models on the base and the scale that they are in doesnt actually change the game...
... Actually I am currently doing 6mm on 25mm base sizes for my sins, though it is a long term project, it means that Chariot and Elephnats both have 6 models...
Hi again. I am looking to assemble a 'test base' for my chosen two forces in 6mm. I have selected lists 23: Carthaginians and 24: Later Hoplite Greeks. So,...
They key to the Carthaginian foot is that no one really knows for sure what they wore or even carried. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling a book. However,...
Baccus has a quite a bit of Carthaginian stuff to be honest..Under enemies of Rome section in the ancients ... sure what ... book. ... early ... you're ... ...
Thanks for all of the help so far. To recap... I can clearly use the 6mm Baccus Hoplites to represent the Hoplites in... umm... 6mm. For the Libyan spearmen,...
Actually, can I rephrase my previous question... can I get suggestions. If you were going to select packs from the Baccus 6mm range to represent the City State...
Hi, and thanks. You are the second person to suggest exactly that combination, so I went ahead and ordered a couple of packs for a trial. But… when looking...
Hi Guys, An update on HMGS-East, the PEL is up on the Historicon website. Here is a link to the PEL http://www.historicon.org/Content/2007_pel.htm and the...
We still play VB when we play ancients. Last saturday we played a large VM battle. However the focus seems to be World War II at the moment at our club. ...
