We went with the 1" squares due largely to the fact that we had some Suren figures with larger bases, which would not fit on a 3/4" square base. So it was more for a matter of convenience rather than for appearance. We use the 3/4" size for our Colonial and Napoleonic games.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-23157003696237660002016-05-16T10:23:32.726-05:002016-05-16T10:23:32.726-05:00Excellent photos and battle report!

Peter Gilder practically invented the grand game in the UK.
