Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
But think of all the 28mm terrain you can re-use for Dux Arthurians¡ Mordred crashing through paper screen houses, Merlin trying to collect Mistletoe from Cherry Trees¡

Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
I can't decide to be honest if I should rice in. My main 28mm period is
medieval Japan for which I'm using Seven Spears based on Dux. It would be
nice to have a sister project using the same ruleset.

Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
Richard: I think that 10mm would work beautifully for Dux. With a bit of
planning, you can add more figures for visual effect without being too
ahistorical. Plus, Pendraken's late Romans are some of

Or, if you think the line will be too wide, us¨¦ one stand as two figures,

Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
You've inspired me to get my 10mm AWI minis out the loft. They are
currently based singly but I might do them in 2s just to make them easier
to to rank and move.
Considering doing Dux at 10mm also

Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
I don't see the problem. Deploy your bases side by side as they are already
two ranks deep.

Re: WW2 88mm Flak 36
Doug,
The 2019 Lardie Magazine has a scenario, not a campaign, ¡®Whata Whizz Of A Wiz...¡¯ that has an 88 mm deployed on table.

Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
Incidentally, 15mm on 40mm x 20mm is perfect for trying out huge battle sets like Horse Foot and Guns. A very different set of rules with a very different

WW2 88mm Flak 36
So I decided to pick up a model 88, and before it arrives I'm wondering about colour. Ie, early or Late War?*
Does the 88 figure in an on table role in any PSC? I can remember off table, but not on.

Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
Thanks for all of the answers. I had not thought of going wide before, so I
may have to experiment with that and see how it looks. I have 10mm and 15mm
here to try, so I may do a few bases of each and

Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
I agree with John¡¯s approach - like him I have a stand of 3-4 15mm figures instead of a single 28mm for my AWI stuff.
But I made the mistake of putting my Regulars in 2 ranks per base, which

Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
My advice is not to worry about it and use the figures you have however based to play the game. The 4x2 figure firing line you will see in most 28mm games is an abstraction and not a strict reflection

Re: Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
I am playing SP in 10mm but that is to play on a smaller table at home.
So just the regular group size of 8 figures but play using measurements in
centimeters instead of inches.

Sharp Practice basing for smaller scales
Hi all,
I'm sure some of you play Sharp Practice in the smaller scales (15mm and
under) and have multi-figure bases. By this, I mean having the usual number
of bases in a unit (say 8), but having

We tend to run top MGs on half tracks as 6d6 for this reason. It's still more dice than the gun would get operated by a single man on foot, and has the added advantage of keeping all vehicle MGs the
