Fantastic battle report! I have a ton of Baccus colonials on 60mm wide bases, will those be compatible with the new rule book? 

Thanks!

Thanks, Yeppers!

People make all kinds of basing systems work in all kinds of ways for BBB. With your 60mm (x30?) bases, you could:

- (a) treat each base as a double BBB base; or

- (b) for any unit stronger than 2 BBB bases, just use two of your bases. That's enough to put it in all three formations (line, march column, depth). You'd need to track unit strengths, either by dice or by a roster.

I'm sure you can find a method that works for you.

Chris
