Yes, I have based my Napoleonic light horse with 4 horses, 5 for heavy so you can immediately see what is what. For ACW 4 seems good.

Thanks Al.  So when you did the ACW at 3 bases, did you use 3 bases for cavalry too?  How about artillery, did you go 1 or 2 bases per “unit”?

Thanks, Mike.

It occurred to me that if bases were mounted so that one strip could be removed , 2 bases would be able to make a perfect square…

For a mortar or MMG team, I use regular BA single-man base.

Greg, I would edit your post ASAP to take out that email if you still use it, or every single internet bot will be spamming you soon.
