I might have to join EB on the smaller bases as I like a tight spread and I think my figures are going to be small

I’ve put a bid in for the rules on eBay so keep away you buggers. I’ve already lost a c&c Napoleonics game this week 😫

We're only talking 100 or so aren't we? So multibasing might be a might unnecessary. Like 18mm bases

ebay for C&C means you need to count the blocks and you miss out on stickering fun. Zatu Games are usually a good price

multi-use not multi-base. Thats why my units will be in multiples of 6

I was intending to only get around 70 or 80 figures, but I think I might've bought a lot more than that.
Why us? Cos we're 'ere lad, nobody else.

I can't see that working. I think I'll do 20mm square.

I was sort of answering Jeremy and you...I just got lazy with my quoting :D I'm probably too tired after having to explain to EB that "This cow is small, but those cows are far away"....again :evilgrin:
