Has anyone worked out the downsizing 10mm equivalent of Battlefronts 15mm biscuit bases?  I quite like that Flames of War look but want to do 10mm for CWC so the base will be a bit smaller.  Hope that makes sense.

As I use another ruleset with 10mm at 1:1, I had to find a happy medium for use with CWC2 as well.

I opted for FoW small bases for all infantry teams: 3 or 4 figures to a base. I have a plethora of these small bases ;D.  I use 20mm or 30mm round bases for weapons teams/specialists such as sniper/FAO/FAC/Milan/SAM.  For medium mortars I use 30mm square bases and for heavy mortars I use FoW medium bases.  Works for me for both rulesets.

I just use the 15mm 'biscuit bases' from Battlefront - with more figures on for 10mm.
8 figures in 10 mm on a 'biscuit base' works pretty well for me - ideal for a Soviet BPM crew. I just have one of them armed with an IATW on the front right-hand 'corner'.
