Could I get a consensus on infantry base sizes for DSII. I am guessing it
is about 1" by 1/2".  Does that sound about right, or is it too big?

I've always liked 2 - 4 figures on a 1" (where " = unit, cm or in)
disk. Makes it really easy to judge closeness requirements, so many diameters
apart. Also represents the dispersed nature of the beast well.

Doesn't really matter much, though I wouldn't go much bigger than 1" in any
dimension. Base size has very little bearing on the rules. For the record,
the ready-based Irregular Mins. groups used in the photos in DSII are
about 10mm x 20mm, and when we get our "official" 6mm infantry out in the DSM
range the (separate) bases we intend to make will be around 20-25mm x
15-20mm (probably...).

I use 1"x 1/2" for my ESU, 3/4" x 3/4" for my NAC ( different
tactical doctrines!!!)
