Due to cost the figures will be a normal pack price per figure.
This precludes armies of 30 or more figures.
A force of 8 figures would cost £40.

OK or not OK?

Reasons for a fight.
More thoughts(?)

Securing resources and/or security.
Companies attacking the resources of other companies.
Resources = workers, ownership  of land, actual made/mined goods.
Maybe "safety" operations to clear out rogue or rouge (as is often quoted on the internet)  troopers :) .
The action takes places in far flung outposts.
The troopers are dropped from a craft? This craft is not a combat item.
The operations need to be deniable/mysterious.
The troopers are more capable than land vehicles, HMG's, rockets, swords and flame throwers.

Although the figures are 15mm sized, the rule scale would need to assume figures of 5mm size.

We could use normal 6" squared mat/grid but consider the four quarters in order to create imaginary 3" squares. That would save players money.

Weapons  etc.
Delayed detonation charges.
Hunting mines.
Blocking (sight/sensor) charges.
"Closer in" shoot weapons.
False/trick positioning.
Going to ground.
Team powers.
Limited game length.
Mission criteria.
Recovery.

I may hold out for Robin Hood. I'm rubbish at gluing figures together. Always have been and I'm not sure I'm going to improve at my age 🤣😂😆

In other news I'm giving up on plastic figures and will be placing an order for some Fallschirmjager.
