Two quick questions
What if my miniatures are on a different base? Our base adapters cover size changes, including a 25 to 28.5 mm round adapter and a 20 to 25 mm square adapter for The Old World.
Is the tray size the size of the base? Yes: it is the size of each slot. The tray's overall size depends on the number of files and ranks you choose.
