ESR Napoleonics can be played with any scale miniatures, based in nearly any way, and played at nearly any ground scale. These examples are the recommended basing for our ESR Box Sets which offer 1:160 scale (aka 10mm) miniatures and are configured for the 1″=150 yard ground scale.

If you are playing ESR Napoleonics with an existing miniatures collection at a different ground scale, checkout the Recommended Basing section of ESR’s Introduction.
