28mm Cav Basing

Is there a standard number of figures for a 28mm cav unit? Most of my armies are based on 25mm x 50mm bases for WAB. But since Impetus uses 120 mm x 80mm for cav. That would mean a unit would only have 4 figures in a single rank, I am used to running 12 figure units (6x2)? That seems to be really tiny. I know that figures are only a representation but is this correct? /Jeff

For CP (Heavy Cavalry) I tended to put 6 or 7 figures on a base. It is hard to get anymore on than that unless you make the base a bit deeper (I did that with my Byzantine Tagmatic cavalry by adding an extra cm of depth on to the base and was able to get 4x2). But remember that you will get more units this way. With Impetus 2 there is even more emphasis on moving in Groups rather than single stands so what you lose on one end you gain on the other. We played a game last week and one player had a Group of 3 stands of CM with 21 figures in total that looked really good.

nothing official, but what we use is 6-8 for CP, 5-6 for CM, and 3 or 4 for CL depending if they are VBU 3 or 4
