Ok this might be heresy and I am sure something about it is mentioned in the Book of Revelations but here goes
Some friends who play KOW in 28mm are keen to give warband a go and I was wondering what sort of base sizes would people recommend?. I was thinking of 120x60 myself but using base widths that might make our 6x4 table seem quite small
Any other suggestions?
Cheers
Play with the 100mm but only four wide for the mini's?
We've (Stenicplus, another gaming friend and I) have played two games so far with 28mm (GW Dwarves, GW Elves and Dark Age Rus respectively) using 120 x 60mm as this allows them to use the figures that they have based up for other systems with 60x30mm bases.
The only minor problem was that the Elven chariots take up a lot of room depth-wise. The table was not overy full, and maybe we lacked a bit of manoeuvre space, but the games went well and were enjoyable.

KoW 'small' units would fit in the 100x50mm ballpark wouldn't they?
I dont think I explained it very well
Would you think say using 60mm as a base width effect the game too much when using 120mm wide bases?
Any base size which is 2x1 will work perfectly fine.
So a 120mm x 60mm base will work.
Fenton - I'm guessing you mean use 60mm as the base movement, with 120mm frontage?
Probably be OK, although it might take a while to get into contact.
Cheers guys, we'll have a play and see what happens

Ah right. OK, give it a go Fenton. The rules are designed with the BW being the core unit and matching the actual base frontages. Larger bases with smaller move distances will have a significant impact on the ability of units to move and maneouvre.
