Surely not? 60mm is exactly one base width.footslogger wrote:Not sure this is worth an errata, but....
I have some horse that belong to a friend, not sure what they are based for, but they are 60mm depth (in 28mm). The turning rules would allow these guys when in a single rank to turn 90degrees and be in two files.
However, note that if they are 2 ranks deep, they MUST turn in 2 files, whereas properly based troops would have the choice of being in 1 or 2 files. Swings and roundabouts methinks.
However, I take your point below.
However, it is difficult to see how the game can practically be played without any disadvantage of extra depth, if only because two BGs cannot be on top of each other.So, in the section where you describe using figures based for other systems, you might want to clarify in a manner similar to what you've done for pike that are based not as deep: "This is acceptable but the game must be played so that no advantage or disadvantage accrues from using deeper (in this case) bases and the rules are to be interpreted accordingly."
If you are going to allow possible disadvantages, you probably need to allow advantages to compensate. Better to leave it to be agreed between the players, or, failing that, the umpire I think.
If we start to see people deliberately basing their figures on deep bases to gain some advantage, then we will have to rule on it.
