...Thanks for the comments and interest, Gentlemen.<br /><br />@ Pat - no worries about WAB options - the only changes to those armies will be the multi-basing of skirmishers. The close order troops are fine as is on their movement tray (and will remain singly-based).<br /><br />Warm regards, DeanDeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-74183695545127796012014-01-04T13:29:58.915-08:002014-01-04T13:29:58.915-08:00I have always thought your Greeks looked outstandi...I have always thought your Greeks looked outstanding. As far a re-basing your whole army, you aren't giving up on WAB are you? That would be a serious loss to our local WAB community. BTW, I need to get some serious practice in with you before Germany.

I suppose WAB can be played with casualty markers too - but I know some of the flavor is to see the visible attrition of units. <br /><br />@ James (Baconfat) - I do, as the Hypaspists are, but most of the times, even with magnetized figures, movement becomes fiddly - figures falling off, etc.<br /><br />Again, thanks for the comments and continued visits to the blog.

The figures are better protected and quicker to get on the table.
