Hi,

as I have a lot of spare FOW bases I'm thinking about using them to base my 10mm stuff. Any ideas or experiences???

Patrik

Since basing is purely upto your taste you should be fine.

I use the small FoW bases for 10mm infantry. But I'm sure any of them are fine! except the really big jobs

I've based a lot of my 10mm stuff on FoW bases. glued them on with B&Q solvent free adhesive then I used standard 'flexible' filler to texture the bases and hide the metal 'plinths'.

atjulesav: What base size did you use for infantry?

Hi Deus

I was fooling around a few years ago and being broke I decided to play FoW with 10mm models to save money - £1.75 per tank or afv not £6.50 is a big saving! Then I realised that the FoW bases worked for FoW and for BKC too.

I used the FoW 'medium' sized bases with the number of figures exactly as recommended by FoW. The wide side of the base is front/back.

The FoW small bases are exactly half the size of medium ones if you base the figures facing the short edges - so I based up a few spare infantry figures in twos on small bases to put side by side with the bazooka, PIAT,PzSchrek guys on small bases to show units with IATW upgrades!

I have used the 'big' FoW bases for 88s, nebelwerfers and 105mm guns etc. When I finish some tanks they will be going on FoW bases too to keep a 'uniform' look to the collection.

Cheers

I base my infantry on 30x26 bases (4 to a base)

same base - 1hmg - 1 mortar - 1 piat/bren

I base all my vehicles/AFV's on FOW medium bases.

I use FOW medium bases for everything 10 mm, save the odd giant tank.

El Suave,

VERY nice looking. You've done a great job.

Thank you for your answers! Well, so I wouldn't be the only one to base on FOW bases and I could use my FOW surplus bases to a good end

Thanks SCAdian. You've got good taste

Hi guys, I recently changed from playing 10mm Warmaster to BC and have a couple of questions.

Does a base of say 4 figures represent a platoon or sections strength?

Also in el suave images he has some nice foliage and sandbags, where do you get these items from?

Cheers

ukdraxion:

foliage: Gale Force 9

sandbags: SHQ , reference VP 29 (yep, it's not 10 mm scale but works fine)

cheers

ukdraxion,

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: It depends on what level you decide you are playing at. You can call a stand a Platoon / Battery or you can call it a Section / Individual vehicle / Gun.
It makes no difference game mechanics wise if that 9 base formation is a Company or a Battalion...
