Considering the time spent on painting minis for this game or that it would be nice to be able to cross over systems.
HoTT is 60mm frontage for everything but number of figures varies, Warhammer is 20mm or 25mm bases for individuals - excluding monsters. Then the Lord of the Rings SBG is 25mm or 40mm rounds
.... I am considering creating some sabbot bases with 80mm frontage and 60mm depth with space for 3 by 2 infantry with any type of base (20, 25 squares and 25 rounds) and 3 cavalry on 25 by 50 rectangles or pils. It has to be said that some of the thinking behind this comes from having access to a laser cutter at work - all I have to do is supply the mdf and work out how to use the software. That bit is worrying as I can't work out how to put links on this blog - d'oh!
This will also be of benefit for the Vikings/Saxons for Dux Bellorum, Of Gods and Mortals and possibly SAGA if DK can get it together rather than buying a new boardgames every week ;)
I am not planning to change the DBA armies as they cover the same historical period - well roughly.
Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Thracians, Celts and Carthagian.
Images - well some poor quality rough sketches.
Any thoughts on this would be nice - before I work out how to use the laser cutter!
Obviously this will require a fair amount of work - taking things off bases and putting back on bases.
I think it will give a nice looking game with more figures per base.
Well there is a plan - put with all wargaming plans it has yet to hit reality. And of course doing this stops painting etc.
