Anyone ever played DBA or HOTT with really big bases (8cm) on a 120cm x 120cm board?
Because I found out that IMPETUS army lists seem to be not too far away from DBA troop compositions, so I'd like to use my Impetus armies on that scale in DBA...
And some german friends played HOTT with Wahammer miniatures on that BW.
That sounds really epic to me...

So long as both sides are using same base width and depths, I don’t see an issue wit this. Could look pretty cool 😎

Works great. And looks very good.
If I had the space for that, that would be how I would be playing all of the time.

I've always had the fantasy to play DBA at double base widths with 6mm Baccus figures. Would look awesome!

I have Romans, Macedonians, Classical Indians and Ancient Brits on 8cm wide bases on 4 ft square boards. 20mm figures with 12 Solid figures, 9 Fast, 4 Ps and 6 cav, 3LH, 1 El or Chariot. Looks very good!! Must get on with the Persians!
Cheers

The "epic" look will mainly depend on the figurine scale. 8 cm bases with 28 mm figs won't make many figs, but 3mm figs on 8cm bases... Wow ! It should just look fantastic !
If you try it (whatever the scale), please post some photo !
