Basing

[rcbecker1]

I have seen ref's. to puting two ships to a base on Corvettes and other small ships is this correct? I cant find anything in the rules to really reference basing ships or how many are in a unit. Such as how many Mas boats signify a fleet unit in VAS.

I use various size bases for a given ship class. However, I use W@S miniatures, so I'm sure my ship bases are larger than most people are accustomed to.

I only base MTBs mutiple units to a base. Corvettes, Frigates, Minesweepers, Sub Chasers get a small base for each ship.

I use .030 or .040 Styrene plastic sheet, with a paper strip with the ship name, type and nationality (Arial, 8 point) glued to the right rear of the stand. Each ship gets it's own name (for campaign purposes).

Example: USS Arizona BB-39 or Roma BB (IT)

Yeah I do the same thing but was looking for an offical answer to make sure. Since WAS bases 2 units for MTB and such But it looks like in the ruler they are seperate so I just look at its as Counters to represent the unit.

I wish I had originally based on a thicker material, like what you base on Ray, but I had the plastic handy and I thought what the heck, the ships are plastic....

All ships should be mounted individually apart from coastal forces, where a base respresents 2 vessels.
