You are correct, normally with All Hell Let Loose infantry are based with more figures on a base, however there are options in the rules for playing at different troop representations. I have tweaked the rules slightly for this game which highlights the flexibility of the system. It's a small game with a small number of figures so I wouldn't normally recommend this for 6mm! It will however let me take a cool board and game to wargame shows at some point. Thanks!<br /><br />CtMCharles the Modellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986855572880983472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543495834905413167.post-88842371542704690122020-12-15T15:10:21.058-08:002020-12-15T15:10:21.058-08:00Are the figures for the All Hell Let Loose rules? ...Are the figures for the All Hell Let Loose rules? I thought infantry was based on bases of 4 to 8 figures for those rules. It looks very impressive, great work.Lord of the Western Keephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239419127196171915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543495834905413167.post-53168910549488056272020-05-30T12:19:11.846-07:002020-05-30T12:19:11.846-07:00Hi Stephen, the board is 900mm by 600mm, or 3ft by...Hi Stephen, the board is 900mm by 600mm, or 3ft by 2ft. I intend to use this as for a participation game at UK shows when we’re allowed to do that again so it should see some action. Please steal away! Thanks for the thumbs up and for commenting!<br /><br />CtM Charles the Modellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986855572880983472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543495834905413167.post-26196146111679203142020-05-29T15:37:55.718-07:002020-05-29T15:37:55.718-07:00How big is that board?

I may steal some but apply it to sections of terrain which can be applied to different tables as needed.

Th...Hello Mirrorbird and thank you for commenting!<br /><br />The table base is fine turf by woodland scenics layered and glued down onto the board.<br />The figures needed a high base because I need to separate and distinguish between different units in the game. They have worked out very well I think. I would think long and hard about basing 6mm individually because it does get very fiddly. In this game there are only a small number of US figures and the Germans are fairly static so it is possible to play the game without getting frustrated.<br /><br />I love Adler figures and have a large Russian WW2 army. You will not be disappointed!<br /><br />H&R are open as I understand it but they are cycling through the ranges that are available to manage orders better. Keep checking in with them.<br /><br />Thanks and enjoy my blog!<br /><br />CtMCharles the Modellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986855572880983472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543495834905413167.post-77576865816403089932020-05-17T14:52:50.349-07:002020-05-17T14:52:50.349-07:00This is absolutely brilliant. The table is really ...This is absolutely brilliant. The table is really beautiful, is it all glued down or some sort of cloth draped over the terrain? <br /><br />I like the bases and the high edge, surprisingly cool. Easy to distinguish the Germans (in grey?) from the Americans too. I hadn't considered single-basing 6mm infantry, figured it would be too hard, too much work moving things around etc, but it looks really cool. I had considered buying some 15mm BF miniatures and single-basing them, just because I think it looks awesome with so many tiny guys running around on single bases!<br /><br />I put in an order with Adler two days ago (my first), a bunch of Soviets. Curious to see how they compare to Scotia Grendel's which were... really poor to be honest. The cavalry was a nice sculpt, but the Japanese WW2 infantry was just bad. The moulds must be old or the casting poor, because they all looked like ants (interconnected blobs) with missing limbs everywhere. Though now that I have painted them you can at least discern the bodyparts. The lying-down poses are actually good, but a large proportion are soldiers standing at salute (is that the term?), no idea what to do with those.<br /><br />From what I can tell, Adler's look amazing. They're also chunkier, priced the same or maybe cheaper, not sure, and the shipping is way more reasonable. I think I paid about $2 (within EU) for a few hundred minis This means I can make many smaller orders without being bothered by shipping. At Scotia I felt like I should save on shipping by making one big order, but the quality is hit-or-miss, so I don't want to do that either!<br /><br />Also really hoping Heroics & Ros opens up soon.<br /><br />Anyway, awesome table and minis. I'm gonna go check out the rest of your blog.Mirrorbirdnoreply@blogger.com
