Art De La Guerre

[Hobleythick]

Hello all,

I'm a new joiner and new to ADLG. Some of my club mates are fans and so I'm joining them. I've rebased some figures for ADLG to make a Lancastrian Wars of the Roses army. My theme is the Lancastrian forces at Mortimer's cross.

I'd like to add some french Crossbowmen and Irish Kerns to Butler's command as that's historical and would provide options or a start towards 300 points. I might also mix the Tudor commands in play. I've no idea how this will all play out but it's what I have, so at least I'll get to play and learn.

I have based all my troops on 1 UD square bases for now. I'll do light infantry on 60x30mm. I think the type and number of figures per base shows the base type well enough, so I don't imagine this will be an issue when playing locally. I've not been a competition gamer in the past, but never say never, so I'm wondering if this alternative basing is something others do, or would it be a problem in tournament games?

I have run into a couple of players who do this (all or most on 1 UD x 1 UD) and it seems to work fine.

Thanks Kevin, that's encouraging. I like the chunky bases. I've started doing some Numdians the same now, with cavalry, imitation legionaries and Javelinmen on 60x60 but light infantry on 60x30.
