After much discussion Bruce, Greg and myself are moving to a new basing convention, 50 x 50 bases so we can place the officers, NCOs and musicians in the correct positions in a battalion. I also has the added bonus of protecting the paint work a little better (Bruce's army is based for WRG, mine for British Grenadier and Greg just made up his own which was 50 x 50!) it also has the added benefit of being able to use our troops at a pinch with might and reason.
With this basing we are also increasing the size of our batns from 24 to 28 (the extra officers and musicians) so while I am doing this I will also be doing some touch ups of Bruce's Prussians and my French, British and Americans also adding new GMB flags to Bruce's Prussians and 3 new batns of guard! Still not sure which way to go with the light infantry though, some pondering to be done I think!
American Provincials
French
Prussians

Good luck sir, I hate rebasing but sometimes needs must.
I've done my fair share of re-basing, its not a fun job!! But its gotta be done, have fun,if you can!!
Not pleasant, but sometimes necessary to satisfy new gaming tastes.

Like the others, I hate rebasing. In our group we have rebased the same fig's more than once before they have even seen a game! Good luck.
God luck with that job. I'm doing similar with 15mil Napoleonics :O(
Good luck Matt on the rebasing.
Create a vignette for the skirmishes as I think this would look good.
Cheers,
Helen

you should go 60x 60 then you really can get everybody in the right position and back to 24 3 bases of 8..a command group in the centre and ..0r 3 bases of 30.. look verra nice
Great stuff Matty...looking good old friend
Great basing...very well done
Good luck and do it safer than I! I just rebased a single battlegroup this weekend and plunged an xacto knife into my thumb. Xacto is a good cutting and dangerous prying tool.
