Basing Questions for 15mm ULB

Barry,
I really like your "Under the Lily Banner" rules -- and I intend to use them.
However, one of my (long-term) projects is to build WSS forces in 15mm -- since I only have room for a 4' x 8' table (and I've got lots of neat 15mm terrain).
So, my basic question is . . . "What are your suggestions for 15mm base sizes?

Infantry probably on a one inch square (6 figures). 3 bases per unit (fourth if you want pikes - on a stand behind central musket stand).
Cavalry 3 per base on a 30mm wide by 25mm deep base, 2 bases per squadron.. that's my suggestion

Barry,
I believe your proposed base size is a little small for 15mm. I base 3 cav on a 40mm (front) X 30mm base. I think it is very dificult to make the base smaller.
For 6 inf I guess the minimum size is around 30mm(front) X 30mm. Mine are DBx based, but I use 2 bases (deep) as 1 ULB base.

Hi
I agree with Wim, his suggested base sizes are the same as the ones I use for my 15mm WSS figures, and they just about fit nicely. I use mainly Dixons, Roundway and Essex, and they tend to be more like 18mm than 15.
In the past I used basing sizes similar to Barry's suggestion for my 15mm Napelonic's and it just did not work.
But as Barry says in the ULB rules,as long as both sides are based similary it does not matter.
