Then you can place multiple units on the flat base (allowing you to move them around as a squadron as you propose but also allows you to remove them and use the bases for a different rule set).<br /><br />So in your instance you keep the two 60 x 40 bases but create a 120 x 40 flat base.<br /><br />Hope that makes sense!Broedershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218127480258279732noreply@blogger.com
