Chain of command 10mm

[getagrip]

Yes, nice, the washers have holes you could fit very small rare earth magnets in to the base would still be more or less level... But I wasn't going to make the sabots square, and cutting steel plates into organic shapes may be tricky. Square/rectangular bases are the thing I like least about multi-figure bases (I'm fine with them in Sharp Practice, since the formation is meant to be rectangular).

You can buy then ready cut; Fenton has a link.

When playing in 10mm do people use individual figures or bases for the infantry?

Mine are about to get their baptism of CoC SCW Espana! This Saturday.

All are individually based, less LMG/HMG and other 'team weapons on 25mm MDF bases. Whilst I wont be doing a batrep, I will post a few thoughts afterward and possibly a phto or two for perspective.

To be honest I don't think the scale will make any difference. CoC works well in 15mm with individually based figures and the ground scale conversion is almost real at that scale. Most of my terrain is 15mm too so I think it will work fine.

Can't wait to get this played!

Small AT Guns I base on a 1p, with 1 figure (kneeling). The other gun crew are individually based, but 2-3 of them are on 'crescent moon' shaped bases made out of cardboard to fit as close as possible to the gun. One thing I don't like about individual figures is the way it spreads weapon teams & crew out too much. As I game the Fall of France & Barbarossa, I haven't had the need to go up to a 2p base for guns so far, although I do have an 88 Flak gun on a 1" square base...

I used a 5 cent (eurocent that is) for my mg teams, and have suitable separate minis for the team on the move. When there are no separate 'moving ' figures available, i just stick with the bigger base and add a marker when a crewman dies. This is for USE ME wwII though, not CoC.

Small Batrep here - just a few photos as I was concentrating on the rules.

In terms of how CoC Converts to 10mm and single basing, i think it felt fine. In terms of command radius, when you start messing with base sizes you may need to change command radius to boot which i think may have an effect on the game.

This felt right because there is no shooting through friends in CoC. Multi-figure bases would be tricky applying this rule and will alter gameplay significantly if you allow all figures to shoot.

One issue was the footprint of buildings which are quite small and figures based on 25mm bases took up quite a bit more room.

Nice little report

Good report of an interesting game, certainly didn't seem to be the Republican's day

Sunjester has individual bases.

I based everything individually, even heavy weapons crews, worked like a champ.  Pics below, pics of some games at the link

I dont like round bases, so use board game counters - 1/2" square. These work for 10mm and 6mm.
