I had a shufti through the rules and found I couldnt fin a base size for AT guns (or ANY guns come to that) I really cant see a 25pdr (or an 88) and crew fitting on a 50x25. So whats anyone else done?

Generally with AT guns - smaller man-handled ones - you could probably get away with a smaller frontage base - but remember each model represents a number of guns & crew.
So in 10mm you might put a couple on the 50x50 base.

Smaller ATGs, such as 45mm, I fit on a 25mm x 25mm base. Bigger ones, such as Pak 40, on 25mm x 50mm and anything bigger on whatever looks right.

Mine are on 30x30 bases in 6mm.

Yep it all sounds familiar and sensible. Not really a big fan of AT guns although my BKC v1.0 Italians had a metric shedload of them (many more than I could actually field) Butr then again that army was bought as a job lot and I had mo input as to its makeup.

Often the way with other people's re-purposed armies - did they sell the guns to other nations? Maybe they could be the start of a new force - although it does depend what the crews looked like I suppose  :)
