Thanks.

Although I have to say that is the least informative blurb for a set of rules. At least they are cheap.

I'm using 30mm x 30mm bases for WWI Russians with 3 infantry figures, MG and 2 crew or 2 mounted figures per base for GWSH II.

Early war Germans will be based the same.

Interesting site, started reading through some of the posts. You go to a lot of effort with your blogs!

Using a 30mm square base with 3 infantry, 2 cavalry or an MG and crew has the advantage that it will work with the Peter Pig Square Bashing rules or Crossfire. It is what I plan to use for my Spanish Civil War collection of Pendraken figures.

Welcome to the Forum

I have Three nicely painted  WW1 armies that I acquired some time ago. Based for Principles of war, did not like it for that periods, Bought Great War Spearhead but not got around to rebasing them (project number 23 on the list),

For ww2 we use 30x 30 mm for everything and just extend the depth for vehicles. This would probably work well with WW1

Good grief !

Those illustrated figures have got even thinner calf muscles than me!
....and I'd be in the frame as a body double for Judge Death.

When you visit museums and look at the uniforms even from WW2 you realise how much smaller they were

I'm not familiar with HMG WW1 rules.  I don't worry much about base sizes and, essentially, what looks right in the eye of the gamer, usually is.  For my 1:1 company level 1914 BEF and Germans (I use the same for SCW and WW2).  I base as follows but any of the suggestions posted above are just as valid:

One infantry element of 3 men:  40mm x 25mm
One MG: 30mm x 25mm
One cavalry element of two men: 30mm x 25mm
One artillery piece up to 105mm: 30mm x 35mm
Vehicles: 25mm x 40mm
Artillery Team: 25mm x 80mm
