| I was wondering how critical the depth of a base is? I'm going to be doing some close order Medium Infantry which calls for a 60mm x 20mm base. I'm using Victrix figures and there really isn't any way I can fit them on a 20mm deep base. 30mm will work. Is that acceptable? Is that extra 10mm of depth really going to affect anything? |

Unfortunately it will, as a unit's bases depth effects how deep it ultimately is, which effects how much space it take up, especially when moving other than straight ahead.
Also, you'd have a longer flank with deeper bases, also not great.
Again, Scott's lament about 28+mm figures applies here, hard to fit some four to a stand foot on 60x20. |

But would an increased base depth give ME any advantage of any sort? If not then I can't see it as an issue. I don't care if it gives my opponent some microscopic advantage  |
