Lovely videos and nice to see how you base. It's the bane for me 😅. Jumping into napoleon's and I'm swayed by using 45x40mm basses (like how the Prey brothers base). But will wait until my lads are painted before I jump in. Thank you for sharing!
At 28:30 - I believe Perry Miniatures does four figures of grenadiers and then two figures of fussiliers on a six figure base/flank base. And the same with voltiguers at the other flank.
You could put your Voltiguers on 40 x 20( 20 man bases , have 2 of those , so you can throw them out to front of the battalion . But as they are 20 deep they sit together in line or march . I even split my Light Regt in same way for fusiliers and command bases as they are the ones who attack chalets and bridges , towns. They are then sitting slightly apart moving forward. At Waterloo they had a Light Brigade who threw out a multi Regt(battalion ) screen of all the companies Lights
Thanks for providing your details on basing! I'm going to start work soon on my Warlord Games Waterloo box set and going with these recommendations and will also be following your video series on painting Napoleonic figures (which is quite thorough). I'll also use the same figures to run Osprey's Rebels & Patriots as the 6 & 12 unit groupings will fit with this basing scheme as well.
I think thiker wood bases are nicer, the english never liked to stay in column. I am doing my own bases from wood. Last one i didn t cut it straight, so what land is not perfect. ☺️

Are your magnets A4 sheets that you cut to 40x40mm?
no I buy 40x40 from Litko
Get a 3d printer and print your bases. Cheap as chips.
