For most systems the number of figures...@Lt. Hazel<br /><br />For most systems the number of figures and size of bases isn't that important as long as they are close in size and all are basically doing the same size.<br /><br />For the Civil War in 28mm I find that 4 figures a base on a 40x40mm works the best as it seems the most flexible as the miniature count doesn't get too high, but the bases are still large enough for doing some scenic work and ease of movement.<br /> <br />The systems I'll be using are:<br /><br />Guns at Gettysburg- 4 per base is perfect, but a few 3 per base and even 6 per base are also quite useful for units that are not divisible by 4 which there are a few. 6 per base works here as the system is by figure count.<br /><br />Fire and Fury- 6 per base would be difficult to use and would give you a very high miniature count due to base count and not figure count. Even my 4 per base is too much, but I'm counting each base as two bases which helps a lot and something I highly recommend you doing as well.<br /><br />IMHO 6 per base is more for Naps where the shoulder to shoulder effect is more in tune with the period appearance and is what I'll use when I do my French. However, if you like 6 per base for your ACW then that's what you should keep doing, just be prepared to paint a whole lot of figures to play games if want every unit to have 6 to a base if it's by base count and not figure count!:-0 <br /><br />Great looking Texans you did btw!!!! <br /><br />I hope my answer was helpful.:-)<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-44516399485797511042011-05-27T07:49:11.315-07:002011-05-27T07:49:11.315-07:00I totally agree with you about GMB.
