Quick quiz question
I was cutting out bases from card yesterday-
Which rules base figures on a base like this ? Answer tomorrow if no one gets it.
Either Artillery bases (Barry Edwards' Nap rules uses those bases as well), or individual bases to make "bends" in the line. I saw a photograph in a magazine once in which someone had mounted individual figures on triangular bases so he could have "bends" and follow defensive works more closely.
Very very very tiny Artillery bases - these look too small for the 70s 80s Artillery bases that My Peter Laing ECW Artillery were based on. https://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/2017/08/03/192-hexes-of-joy-affronted-by-re-basing-and-ground-scales/
I had to look this non triangle base shape up - I think it is a quadrilateral irregular polygon (?) according to https://www.skillsyouneed.com/num/polygons.html Maths over! Now I just lie down in a darkened room ...
I remember Terry Wise’s Napoleonic rules had artillery bases like that, but I don’t think that’s it somehow.
ReplyDeleteI thought Artillery bases too, but they don't look big enough. Intriguing.
ReplyDeleteCould be artillery bases or more obscure didn't WRG do a platoon scale set of rules for 1920 - 1960 that used these to base figures individually ?.

It's WW2 and quite an old set of rules - WRG perhaps.
