MDF Movement Trays 25mm 5x4

Twenty positions in a five by four grid, sized for 25 mm bases. The format stands exactly between a shallow line and a large square block, which makes it a universal choice for a unit that should be visible on the table yet still comfortable to move.

A footprint as a compromise

Five columns and four rows give a formation slightly wider than it is deep. In practice that means the unit covers a decent frontage but does not take up a needlessly large area when turning, and it passes even where a wide line would get stuck. As casualties mount, empty positions are best filled from the rear row forward, so the front of the unit stays whole. If you are building an army gradually, this grid goes well with smaller two-row trays for the same base size: together they cover most of the unit sizes you will meet in battle games.

Practical tips

• Check that the figures stand on 25 mm bases.
• Measure distances from the edge of the tray, not from an individual figure.
• Round the formation out with a smaller grid for leftover groups.
• The same type of grid across an army simplifies regrouping.

Who it is for

For players looking for one tray that handles most situations, and for collectors who want twenty figures lined up in a regular grid away from the game as well. If you are buying your first tray for a larger unit, this ratio of columns to rows tends to be a safe choice.
