Mark,

I based all my GNW Saxon Cavalry on 60x60 but it will depend on the Manufacturer as the Warfare Miniatures fit quite well, a bit staggered, on this base I doubt that the same would go for Front Rank or other huge Miniatures.

Base size is always a matter of security for your painted Minis so they dont get hurt.

Hope that helps,

Günter

60x60 too like my Mounted Cavalry and Infantry Bases.
In my case it is because of transportation and the boxes I use for them.
