Wayne had been asking how I was basing the stuff up so here are the measurements.
Infantry based according to FOW MTOE for purposes of squad comp. Bases are 7/8in by 1/2in. Small variations as I made bases outta cardboard. You would be safe putting them on any base from 1in by 3/4in. Small differences shouldn't effect gameplay that much.
Command squads, MG/Spotter teams and other support weapons are based approx. half the size of normal fire teams. Roughly 1/2in by 3/8in. Again small variations don't matter.
FA and AT guns bases are 3/4 or 7/8in by 1in. Might not hurt to just do 1x1in squares.
Tanks as per rules aren't required to have bases but I did anyway. They extend roughly 1/8in beyond the models base.
As these miniatures are very small it might be better to make bases larger than the figures I gave. Would help with moving them around when playing. Some of the Inf are hard to identify without a magnifying glass. Particularly some of the Germans I got carrying MG 42's standing up. Couldn't hurt to put a little splotch of paint in the corner of the base to help ID the unit type. In the end I just want to have fun so no need to nit pick all the small crap. We can rock with what ever you end up bringing.
