Hi, would Peter Pig figures mix well with Flames of War figures, how do the figure sizes compare?
Depends which ranges.
With some of the older metal figures PP figures are a bit chunkier, but not enough to make it a problem.
Vehicles pretty similar.
Do not know how the plastics match up.
I have some plastic Flames of War Soviet Riflemen, they are a good match with the new Peter Pig Russians which I have. In fact I added some Peter Pig Heads to a few of the plastics.
That all sound pretty good Mike, nice that the ranges are compatible, especially after Martin has made so many russian packs.
When playing FoW at my club we had Battlefront minis, QRF and Peter Pig as the three main suppliers in people's armies. Fundamentally you could tell different vehicle suppliers if they were in the same unit and placed next to each other, infantry missed fully were not really noticeable but some infantry that was all one maker next to others had the same 'I can tell they are different' effect.
None affected gameplay whatsoever and none were so different that they really made people think the aesthetics were off. In fact the biggest differentiator turned out to be paint jobs - one player had two batches of infantry from the same supplier one painted recent to the game and the other a number of years beforehand when his skill level wasn't as high and that was more distracting than mixed supplier figures.....
So yes, Peter Pig figures work great in Flames of War....and stemming from the use of some of those Battlefront armies units in an AK47 game that made me look at PP rules, we discovered (what a surprise) that PBI works very nicely with FoW based armies.....
