I just had an email regarding base sizes we use for 28mm Fire and Fury ACW rules. Most of us at SESWC use 40 x 40mm bases for infantry with 3 - 4 minis per base, as shown here. These minis are all Perry, with the exception of the wounded minis they are all plastics. There are several conversions though, both standard bearers, the Officers coat, 44th New York, being shortened and the stocking caps, 4th Michigan, made from green stuff. The round bases are 2p peices and denote "Disorder" and "Out of Ammo".We tried a varient of the Chris Peers "EVA" then moved on to a "F&F" regimental varient but went back to basic F&F rules as they work so well without any tinkering. We just moved it down a level so that folk could do their favourite regiments instead of just a base or 2 of them as in the brigade level game. Unit strengths as at Gettysburg, 1:40 scale.
So far I have the 5th Corps 1st Division, and part of the 2nd Division, 4 brigades in all plus artillery. All painted and based but I still have to do the static grass on them. Yet another project that needs a litle bit of time spent on it to finish the job, but they are playable as they are.

I'm not so sure about Fire and Fury at 28mm(never tried),but it's 15mm ACW is the finest set of rules for very large scale wargaming IMHO.
Nice work btw.:-)

Christopher,
I agree it's by far the best ACW rule set we have used. We have kept movement and ranges the same for 28mm. The only difference is going down a level.
The new F&F Regt rules were also looked at but add a bit too much chrome for what we want. We needed a set that can pay fast with over 6 players in a game.
