Excellent work.

I notice that your bases used to be a lot darker (and wonderfully defied the old mantra that bases need to be lighter than the figures).  What made you change?

Thank you gents! :)

@Baron von Wreckedoften

The dark bases were for a specific engagement(wet, muddy and cold) and I decided I wanted to use my AWI collection for a more general purpose so I lightened up my bases. Also I designed a table cloth mat that could be used in a more general way as well and the dark bases didn't match which also influenced me to change.

I like this unit the best of all so far! Great work.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

What size are your bases? They look about 40mm x 60mm?

Thank you everyone! :)

@Driscoles

It's really nice when we all find inspiration from somebody efforts as I find it in others as well. Great hobby!

@Vodkafan

My bases for AWI infantry 36 x 50 as this allows them to form a bit closer and also to cover extended muskets.

Ah, yes - I remember now that you had a specific purpose for them.  It just stuck in my mind that you had flouted the "rule" and yet they still looked damn good.
