What we used to do, thirty odd years ago, was just make proxy units out of cardboard, like a movement tray. Mark out a grid representing the models in the unit. Cover the cardboard with clear packing tape. Then play practice games with these proxies. You can use a dry erase marker or grease pencil to cross off boxes as the unit takes casualties. The one problem with this method in The Old World vs 6th/7th edition Fantasy is that units don’t have, more or less, fixed dimensions. It’s a lot easier to reform a unit to increase or decrease frontage... not to mention “linehammer”. That said, it’s still a good way to test a unit in game before buying, building and painting the thing.

The old ways are the best 😁 I recall using all kinds of guff as proxies. Things like Pringles lids and cardboard boxes. The only limit is your imagination, and also the actual difficulties you describe 😂 I still agree it’s a great system 👍🏼

Watching Battle reports has really helped me learn Mordheim! But when it comes to diving into The Old World I have to hands down recommend: Big Small World! They may be using an older edition and in more of a non-traditional story narrative play but they’re great! kzbin.info/aero/PLZR93hnfS9RLDCAdvsTJOk3MNObrWBjje&si=2IV71Juw3hDJm9nX
