Just getting started with BattleLines for ACW and was wondering how most people base 10mm figures, 1 single row of 4 figures or 2 rows of 2 figures?Thanks

I've always used 2 rows of 2 for ACW (which is what the rules recommend). But go with what you like. So long as everything is based the same, the actual basing doesn't matter.

Just seemes like there is a lot of space between figures on a 3/4" base for 10mm.Thanks for the reply.

I use 10mm figures and I don't remember there being that much space on the 3/4" bases. The figure bases seem to take up a fair amount of room, at least for the figures I used, anyway. Of course that was a while back too. :) I actually use 3/4" by 1" bases, using the 3/4" as the unit frontage and the 1" as the unit depth, mounting the figures in a 3/4" by 3/4" area and use the last 1/4" to put unit labels on.You can use smaller bases if you prefer, as long as you mount all of your units the same way. ;)
