Title: Setting the East Ablaze basing size
Post by: Sir Rodney Ffing on 07 November 2016, 02:17:39 PM: Some advice please gentlemen.

I am basing my Copplestone infantry on 25mm circular bases. What have players found to be a good size for cavalry, based singly? Presumably this will be the same for regular and irregular cavalry, but if any one has the wisdom of experience on this suggesting a different approach please let me know.

Thanks in anticipation.

Ditto. Actually been basing some Chinese BoB Cavalry on them this afternoon

A convincing 3-0 win for 50mm x 25mm. My mind is now at peace and I can order with confidence. Thanks chaps.

Not 50 x 25? I will take that as official then!
