I just watched and another great showcase for 10mm figures. Doing some research into options now...

Great looking figures! Spotted lots of TB Line and some Magister Militum 

I've only watched some of the video, not listen to it. They used Lion Rampant, I assume with one sabot base is a unit? And did they track wounds by mini dice?

Does anyone know who the castle / town is made by?

They are going to do a follow up video on how they tweaked Lion Rampant II for this game. Looking at it I think 2 sabot bases made a unit, so when you took one away you knew it was at half strength and thus reduced dice. They had dice holders at the back so I assume that's how they tracked wounds.

That would make sense. I've tried LR series with WM 40x20mm bases. I think I used 6 bases for a 12 figure unit. Worked fine. 

But I think the approach in the video is better - you do end up with smaller footprint of units, which make manoeuvre a bit easier.
