Succumbed and ordered...have gone for the Big Bundle, just because I CBA to make any markers and it comes with dice which will help my dice-fetish 

Forgive me Leon for I have sinned

Settled on 20mm/1:72.  Sunjester offered to sell me his Germans.

For those of you who DO use 10mm figures for skirmish scale single figure bases - what do you base your figures on? I was going to use 1p pieces, but they looked way too big. I'm basing some up now (mostly Pendraken...) using 12mm cardboard circles I punched out with a handy dandy punch I have, but I'd really have liked the solidity & weight of a 1p...

I use washers. They're heavy to stand up on the slopes. You may see some of them here : http://smolensk.homelinux.org/?tag=10mm ( choose France 40 or SCW 36  )
I started to use smaller washes for the mortars crew.



And I've just ordered Chain of Command. 

Those look as big as 1p pieces - what diameter are they? I did find some 12mm washers on ebay, but the holes in the middle were too big...

Grab the 15mm rounds from Leon through Minibits 

Wulf - 1p pieces should be fine for 10mm- you don't want your men too close together.

I shall reconsider them. But also look for 12mm washers with smaller holes...

Meanwhile, I have to consider how to base mortars & HMGs so the crew are at least within arm's reach of one another - I was trimming the cardboard bases to have two flat sides meeting to get them closer together. Harder to do with washers...

I do find it amusing that the 20mm rounds - same diameter as a 1p piece - cost 4p each... 

I've used 12mm washers for single 10mm figures - I like the weight of the washer, helps to keep the figure upright.

I'm going to try Chain of Command with some multi based 10s, mainly because I have so many already painted - and photos of the games seem to show squads close together.

Splash out, go mad and use 5ps

I was thinking exactly that, Craig, but... no...   

The bases would cost more than the figures .

There are people selling old 1/2p pieces on eBay... 

Now they would be perfect. Were sods to get out of your pockets though!
