Hi all.  My first post here.  I met Peter at the Claymore show in Edinburgh earlier this month and her very effectively brought me over to the Small Side of the Force.  So I'm now in the throes of painting and basing some Scottish Covenanters and their opponents (i.e. almost everyone).

In the Wars of the Three Kingdoms (ECW to you sassenachs) usually the first rank of Scottish horse comprised lancers.  So, should I put two ranks on a 60x30 base with the first rank lancers and the second rank pistols?  Or should I fill a base purely with a rank of 9 lancers and then brigade that with a base of pistol-armed horse in play?

Cheers

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Personally, I would base two units separately, as I think it would look better.  Of course, the best option is to move to Big Battalia bases where you can really go to town on the finished unit!

Thanks Peter.  That big base does look good ...
