A question for the wise. I have a small Macedonian army based for Impetus on mdf bases, that I either want to rebase for DBMM. What's the best way to get the figures off the bases? Will soaking them in water for a while weaken the hold of the mdf and glue?

John Garvey Yes, the best advice is to put them in a tray of water just deep enough to cover the bases. Leave overnight and the figs should just pop off.
Philip Gates Thanks. I was hoping something like that might work.
John Garvey Interestingly I used to base using epoxy on cardboard bases, and the same technique worked. Except the bases dissolved and the figs ended up having a little plinth of epoxy!
John Garvey And also a good reason why to base figs using white glue (wood glue)
James Trotman If you used superglue you can hold the figures base with a pair of needle nose pliers and the unit base in the other hand and give it a sharp twist - should come off clean. CA glue has very little torsional strength.
I think I'm in need of a level 2 gaming fix. Anyone interested in a home game over the next couple of weeks? I have a 6x4 table at my place in Khandallah so I guess can do DBM200 or I can come to you. Most evening are ok, weekend afternoons as well unless the weather is unusually good for this time of year.

After my game with Josh Barton, Thursday night, I highly recommend DBMM 200 as a great way to play a game in an evening, without time pressure.
Nick Buckby A shorter game on a 6x4 table.
Will it catch on?

John Edmundson I think the smaller AP games can be a lot of fun and as Vince says, takes the time pressure off in an evening.
Neil Williamson I'm just waiting for things to settle down and then I will publish the new dates
