Thanks, Glenn! Regarding the base size, my group uses Warfare in the Age of Reason using 1:72 figures (which the rules are designed for): http://youtu.be/LLakG4Ofq2Q, I don't have enough room at my house to set up a 6' X 12' table, but I quickly realized that I could replace inches with centimeters and be able to fight the same battles on my kitchen table. So the base sizes are deliberate in order to maintain the correct ratio between this scale and the larger scale. This allows us to be able to fight more battles more quickly (or, it will once I've got enough painted up) for our campaign while using the same rules (with some very minor adjustments regarding the 6mm units).
