A uneducated question. Are people still squeezing 4 inf figs on bases or is 3 permissible?

I have only started DBMM recently and nearly all the figures I have sourced are plastic. No way I can fit 4 to a base. Often it is a struggle to fit 3.

The rules say 3 - 4 so your choice. My Foundry Vikings are 3 to a base while the Aventine Spearmen are 4 to a base. If they are spear/pike in a standing pose then 4 looks great. Armies get finished earlier with 3 to a base.....

It depends. For 28mm infantry I try 4 to a base for regulars, 3 to a base for irregulars when the army I have has both troop types. My 28mm Foundry Spartan Hoplites fit 4 to a base. My 28mm Perry plastic War of the Roses blade fit 4 to a base. We have managed to fit 3 heavy 28mm mounted knights to a base, but you’d struggle to fit 4 28mm cataphracts to a base. I’ve seen old 1980’s 25mm cataphracts fit 4 to a base though. So - it depends…

John Way I guess that is the best way to think of it - filling the base. I know that there is talk the new victrix Knights have no chance of fitting 3 on a base - but no one is ever going to look at two of them on a bad e and say they must be LH…I hope. It was a huge struggle getting 3 Persian cav on a base, even then had to make the bases 60x50mm

I try to conform, but sometimes the figures just won't allow it. The main thing is to declare what everything is before you start the game, for absolute avoidance of doubt...

I’m thinking Sub-Roman. So maybe 4 per base for Legion types and 3 for pedyts? Seems to follow the rules guidelines and Al’s regular irregular demarcation.

Whatever works for you dude. As long as there is no liklihood of confusion, 'sallgood
