Thank you for the replies, especially the moderator/team replies. This sums up my basic feelings although, looking forward, my hope is that some brave publisher changes to the 80mm frontages in the future as metal figures are not getting smaller and I have a preference for heavy foot to look like fo...

I am having a debate of conscience with myself and other gamers in my area. I am advocating a switch in basing for 25mm armies to 80mm frontages instaead of the old standby 60mm WRG frontages. With the increasing size of metal miniatures, and the new Wargames Factory plastics being of similar build,...

And in case I did not mention it, the Esex starter armies are a great launching point for your customized army.

Thanks,
