Имперский генерал в коробке пехоты

Вопрос: как правильно поместить имперского генерала в коробку мечников, если подставка генерала 25х50, а мечников 20х20?

Q. How do you integrate characters on different

base sizes into units of Cavalry or Infantry, and

how do you calculate a unit's rank bonus in such

a situation?

A. Well, we find that there are two ways people use

to solve this issue, and both are equally acceptable:

1) placing the character inside the unit and 2)

placing the character next to the unit (in base

contact with the flank of the unit’s first rank).

Let’s look at these two solutions in a bit more

detail:

1) Placing the character inside the unit. This

works best when the character’s base is larger than

those of the unit’s and is a multiple of them – for

example a model mounted on a 40mm square base

inside a unit of models with 20mm square bases, or

a character on a 50mm square base inside a unit of

models with 25mm square bases or a cavalry unit.

In these cases, the character will fit in snugly and

look and feel ‘right’. It will also displace a number

of models, which are placed in the rearmost rank as

normal.

When working out the unit’s rank bonus, the

character counts as the same number of models it

has displaced (normally four infantrymen or two

cavalrymen).

This can also be done if the character’s base is

smaller than those of the unit he’s joining or it does

not fit neatly with those of the unit he joins (the

most classic case being that of a character mounted

on a horse joining an infantry unit with 20mm

square bases).

In this case, however, you will have to slightly

‘fudge’ the unit’s formation (that’s a technical term,

honest!). In other words, just pretend the

character’s base is the same as the other models in

the unit (for foot characters), or equal to a multiple

of the bases of the other models in the unit (for

mounted or large models joining units of smaller

bases…). This will make the formation a little

messier, but it’s normally quite self-evident.

2) Placing the character next to the unit. This

approach is not strictly speaking ‘by the rules’, but

it’s very simple (particularly for characters with

bases that are different from the models in the unit

they’re joining) and thus a favourite in friendly

games, but we really cannot recommend it in

tournaments and other competitive games...

The character is simply placed in base contact with

the flank of the unit, facing in the same direction as

the rest of the unit and flush with the unit’s front. It

is treated as ‘inside’ the unit from all points of view,

but the unit’s formation is not disrupted by the

character’s differently-shaped base.

This works fine except if the unit is then charged in

the flank where the character is, but with a bit of

flexibility, and trying to apply the principles

presented in “Close Combat & Incomplete Ranks”

on page 36, you should be able to solve this easily.

В этом случае, однако, вам придется немного 'подделать' строй подразделения (честно, это технический термин!). Иными словами, только притворится, что подставка персонажа такая же, как и у других моделей отряда (для пеших персонажей), или равна нескольким блоку из нескольких подставок других моделей (для конных персонажей или больших моделей, присоединенных к отряду на меньших подставках...). Это позволит сделать строй более неряшливым, но обычно достаточно очевидным.

Мужик на лошади занимает место двух пеших мужиков. Совершенно очевидно это видно в коробке, стоящей на 25мм подставках. В коробке из 20мм подставок проводим аналогичную операцию. Можно сделать особую подставку - на прямоугольник 20*40 надевать ободок, чтобы сделать стандартный кавалерийский прямоугольник 25*50.
