Hi

Another newby here with questions on basing. My armies are based for Hail Caesar rules in 15 mm. Essentially for close order infantry I have 3 figures on a 30 mm wide base, which is consistent with 4 on a 40 mm wide base. However that makes my standard base width 30 mm rather than 40 mm. Will this be a problem with the rules at all. At this point I am gaming with friends using my armies so the basing is consistent for both sides ?

Any and all advice welcome !

As long as the basing is consistent then the Base Width is whatever a base width is.

I have even experimented playing MeG Pacto 28mm figures with 60mm bases but using a 40mm BW (instead of the usual Pacto 30mm for BW).  This was because I didn't have any 30mm measuring sticks.  I found it works perfectly well.

OK thanks that is a great help - have to rebase my cavalry anyway - but only because I got it wrong in the first place even for HC ! Thankfully I have Republican Romans and Late Macedonians so a lot more infantry than cavalry !
