I think I see 3 or 4 men to a base? I based mine with the bases given and are regretting it now. Do others base theirs differently?

Apparently its changing for the 2nd edition (If it ever come out) but I have so many based and painted I'll stick with the 5 in a line way.

I've always used Flames of a War bases.

I was thinking of re-basing mine to two 3 man and one 4 man base, for a total of three bases and 10 men. Most squads were ten men each. The bases will be approx. 2 1/4" by 1". Does this look like a good idea or a waste of time?

Not sure about the time needed j, but I based all mine 20mm square Litto pine bases. Thickness is a matter of taste, as there are three depths for the bases. There's lots of latitude to this method. Two stands of 4 (2 front, 2 rear) and a stand of 2 = 3 hits kills. Three stands of 3 with the sergeant on the backside of one (again = 3 hits kills). Works for the Brits as well, but, I'd use the Two & One stand so the special weapon is more isolated. Note that MG units work as well on this basis. The added benefit is they now fit into the trench line easier. All this allows better placement in terrain and buildings and also better movement across the table vs the cumbersome 100mm stands. 2nd edition will see the changes of smaller infantry stands.

"I'd use the Two & One stand so the special weapon is more isolated." Madmorgan what do you use for special weapon? A stovepipe self made? If so I was thinking of making my own as well. "2nd edition will see the changes of smaller infantry stands."
Not sure if I can wait. All I have left to do are Martian Infantry. Guess I could mount them on smaller bases with white glue for changing later.

Each Brit Inf. Squad has a Coil Gun. with a 15" range (same as rifles), but with the +2 Pow of grenades. Bloody awesome
