Bradley, look at unit size and basing this way:

If you want to use a unit consisting of 3 x 40mm frontage bases, then the 12 strips of close order infantry gives you 3 bases each holding 4 strips.

If you want to use a unit consisting of 2 x 60mm frontage bases then the 12 strips of close order infantry gives you 2 bases each holding 6 strips.

The frontage for both remains the same, and HC can be played with either.

As the saying goes, 'Yer pays yer money and yer takes yer choice!'

Sorry if I am asking something which has already been said in this conversation, but if you - as stated above - use two 6x3 bases pr. unit, how many models would you then suggest to put on each base? I for instance need to represent c. 100 heavy infantry on the table - how many units would you make them into?

I am trying to break down two late medieval armies into units at the moment and i am really struggling with this, because I am new to both Hail Caesar and 6mm gaming.  

Cheers and thanks for your patience
