Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 24th Oct 2017 04:42:14 Thanks! A bit more - with Peters kind permission two non-Baccus: Little Ogre and staff - and the same on the other side, Archduke Charles: Looking a bit irresolute ... as usual. And finaly some more Baccus: Young (or Middle) Guard, Fusilier-Grenadier: |
They look superb. I am a great believer in using slightly smaller buildings than the figure scale. For my ACW I use the 3mm buildings freely supplied by the Altar of Freedom web page and the 3mm ACW riverine buildings from Peter Pig. these work extremely well with 6mm figures as they have a reduced footprint. A little goes a long way |
Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 25th Oct 2017 07:58:51 Yes, I like that too. My buildings are somwhere between 3 and 6mm, can't say exactly - I used the paperbuildings from PaperTerrain as a kind of template. |
Standard User Posts: 13 Rene 25th Oct 2017 01:57:19 Looks great, I like the 6x3cm basing! What is the stand representation? Batallion? Regiment? Brigade? |
Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 25th Oct 2017 03:18:05 I'm using Polemos-rules: 1 infantry base = 1 batallion, 2 bases = 1 regiment (I thought about three battalions for one regiment as in reality, but my table is too small for that) 4 bases = 1 brigade, 8 to 10 bases = 1 division etc. 1 cavalry base = 1 regiment etc. 1 artillery base (3x3) = 1 battery For brigadiers and generals of division I'm using a 3x3 base, for commanders of army-corps 4x4 and for army command 5x5 |
