Figure size

[martin goddard]

I assume (?), most folk on this forum play games in 15mm.
Maybe they just use PP rules but with other sizes.
Gaming tends to spread naturally across many sizes. Which shows how flexible gamers and gaming can be.
Which games/periods do you play in sizes other than 15mm? Why?

I use 25mm for some show games. This is  in order to demonstrate Vikings and Western, in an attempt to entice in 25mm gamers.

I play some fantasy/sci fi in 28mm at my club, mainly because if I didn't I wouldn't get a game. I could play RFCM most weeks to he honest but the club's interests flit around all the time meaning I have to spy my chances when I can.

28mm -
Saga - since the advent of plastics
Basic Impetus 2 and To the Strongest - Italian Wars simply because I really like the Assault Group and Steel Fist figures for this period
Ronin - again Steel Fist Samurai
Dux Bellorum - post-Roman Britain

10/12mm
Square Bashing - RCW, August/October 1914 in Belgium, 1914 Eastern Front, Middle East, FPW
Bloody Big Battles - FPW, APW, FAW, Pacific War
FOGR - Italian Wars
Days of Knights - Hundred Years War, 2nd Barons War
Dux Brittaniarum
Honours of War - the 10mm figures capture the crowded look of an C18th battle line
They Died for Glory - FPW

6mm
Altar of Freedom - ACW
Great War Spearhead 2
TtS - Republican Rome v Hellenistic Empires

2mm/3mm

That is  massive range. Lots of storage cupboards full of figures?

The oldest figures in my collection are from the late 70s, so there are in fact a large number of RUBs in my painting room, which used to be my study/library. My wargames room is becoming a mini-studio for my son and I have invested in a collapsible 6x4 wargames table. Fortunately I have a very large, airy and bright living room which will make a much more conducive room to game in than the old room which was quite dark and a lot smaller.

Sadly I even have the same period figures in different scales - wild west in 15 and 28, vietnam in 6,15 and 28, Dark ages in 15 and 28.

That's when you know you have issues.

Or, one could argue that it shows remarkable focus 

[Leman (Andy)]

I must be exceptionally focused with my four scales of Italian Wars!

That could just be a statistical coincidence, given your appalling absence of focus elsewhere 

[Big Mike]

My active scale is 15mm mostly PP; Dark Ages, ECW, ACW, Western, SCW, Vietnam, PBI. Zulu and British forces on the stocks. 1/450th Pirate ships of course!    25mm ECW, Napoleonics, Byzantines. 54mm British Colonials.  1/600 WW2 aircraft is the latest scale and I will be running a 1940 Airwar game at the WWW.

[martin goddard]

25mm ECW. I think Rob has those too. Old minifigs??

[NTM (Nigel)]

28mm fantasy and science fiction simply because I purchased a load of Citadel miniatures back in the 1980's.

[Sean Clark]

This reminds me I have a ton of old 25mm Hinchcliffe ECW to get rid of!

[Nick]

All 15mm for me. PP for WWI, SCW, AK47, Sudan and WotR. Mix of Essex,Minifigs and Musuem Miniatures for ECW and Ancients. Did try 6mm at one time but decided it was too fiddly!
