Basing and Representation of Achaemenid Persian Immortals and Sparabara

[Phippsy]

My Achaemenid Persians are currently based for DBX ie on 40x40 and with 4 spearmen with spear and pavisse in front and 4 bows behind. I have checked the MeG relevant lists and these appear to refer to elements that have short spear, pavisse and bow in one. The bows get full effect for 2 rows deep.

Is it reasonable to use my current 40x40 basing but assume there are two element deep. I thought that if an element was destroyed then i could replace the lost double base with a single 40x20 bow element for example.

Would this be acceptable etc - I am looking to have flexibility in using troops across DBX and MeG without having to do different basing.

I would be surprised, and disappointed, if anyone objected.

As long as you clarify before the game starts, I would be fine...
And remind me at least six times a turn too, just coz I have a short attention sp... SQUIRREL!

We already allow a similar system in the French and Belgian tournaments . Never caused any problems as long as it is clearly stated for what it is

Not a problem I'm sure.
Pretty clear what they are representing.
That is all the matters.
Just explain to any opponent and they will be fine with it.

MeG is a pretty relaxed community ....

Thanks for responses all,

I can happily continue to get my weekend fix of painting and basing Immortals now.
