Volley, Bayonets and Paperboys

Here my first stand of Paperboys, designed to play Volley and Bayonet. Boys from “The Peninsular War” book, scaled down to 88% (next time it will be better to scale down to 92% or even try 95% instead).

I have chosen an MDF base, 2mm thick, with rounded (5mm radius) corners.

The base is finished with a sheet I asked to Peter Dennis, plain green, where I just added 3″x3″ and 3″x1.5″ grids. The rounded corners are obtained by filing the paper with a cheap corner cutter.

I also added a triple 12mm dice hole, where I will put dice to indicate respectively: Morale, (Unit Type if necessary), Strength Points.
