They are pretty useful for SYW actions where units deploy in line in the ooen and just go forward and back. But I find when you get into later games on the fringes of civilization where units rrequently change formation and deal with all sorts of terrain then the trsys become a hindrance.<br /><br />Add to that the issue of the weight of 40mm metal figures. I have yet to gind a magnet that will hold a 40mm really firmly if he is on a narrow base let alone allow me to pickup a tray by 1 figure. I'm fairly clumsy to start with and have real issues reaching to the middle to grab a tray without knocking figures off. Sliding can work on the painted tabletop but not so well when the cloth is on.

This would allow you to use your figures for one-to-one skirmishes up to Charge type games where thirty-plus figures could be placed on movement trays. The different rule sets using three, four or even six figures on a base could be accomodated while casualties can easily be removed.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Jerry<br />The Celtic Curmudgeon<br />"Grumpy is good."CelticCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687177512999052331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-63390309014428924162014-04-30T01:25:51.466-03:002014-04-30T01:25:51.466-03:00Darn-it, Ross, your mention of the Mutiny DID get ...Darn-it, Ross, your mention of the Mutiny DID get me excited . . .
