No I'm not stuid enough to live in SW London. As to basing I use 30x30 for vehicles.althouigh you dont have to, and 30x20 for most infantry, since then I can use my stuff for 1-1 games. But use what you think right. Also 1 base per manouver element - which in 6mm is probably a platoon, but couldbe a missile or mortar or recce section. Base up based on tactical use.

20 x 40 is how I base infantry as well.
Bases to suit vehicle size.

"No I'm not stuid enough to live in SW London."

A bit harsh on those that do live there for some valid reason perhaps?

I am in High Wycombe for a few months. There is a club in Beaconsfield if you want to meet up for a game?

Madole. The Staines Wargames club is still up and running.
They meet on Friday nights at St.Judes hall in Englefield Green.
BKC and CWC get played up on the hill.
There is a website.
As long as your base size is the same as your opponents then there will be no problem.

Sorry mate you've put the biggest smile on my face in along time! Grin
Never known anyone get banned.
Just turn up!
Most don't have that long a memory.
I'm sure i've said worse over the years.
I'm not regular there anymore.
Go see. They don't bite!

- Brokendog-

cheers pal- they may not bite but do they suck

Much like Ianrs54's utilisation of primitive regional chest beating I am exaggerating for comic effect
