Question about basing

I base most figures individually on mdf. All have a piece of magnetic strip so they adhere to steel movement bases. More on my blog here: megablitzandmore.blogspot.com/2017/10/painting-54mm-plastics-duffers-guide.html

For my 19th C. Colonial forces and for WWI, I use individual basing, using the same base size as Macscrooge. With magnets and steel trays to boot. (I lifted the idea wholesale from him!)

For WW2, Eastern Front, I base two figures on a 2" square. I use these for games where 1 base = 1 squad or 1 base = 1 platoon. I think two side by side makes a decent company or battalion, but my standards are pretty minimal.

I have a second WWII collection of significantly fewer figures (a squad or so per side) for single figure skirmish games - for those I just use the built in base in most cases, although many of those are Britains and Conte and so they have plenty of heft and don't fall over easily.

Johny, thank you for your reply, I also use magnet but for storage but I will probably do so if I use movement trays. The idea of multiple base for WW2
came probably after visiting your blog many months ago, however you cleverly smaller ones.

Anthony thanks too, interesting to read about the reasons behind your set-up.

Cloud Captain,
I've got a full box of chips that I discarded years ago being too thick, but it was for other scales.
I will give it a try. Thanks !!

I realized that a post on the very same topic exist:
