28mm ECW

To be fair I'd enjoy most periods if I could just be given all the stuff and then it was taken away again when if finished with it.

I’ve gone off the idea of 28mm ecw.
I mean storage wise now, for two small SYW forces, I’ve had to buy a new cabinet just to put it all.
28mm figures and terrain are absolutely bonkers.

SYW - a couple of figure batches bought to be sold on again. Just too little time and space and I worry that by the time I've got round to it everyone else will have moved on. I'm betting on pointy sticks these days. Though i keep hovering at the Eagle miniatures stand at shows, he must think I'm a bit odd.

30YW - got really interested in the period this year and its morphed into a small ECW side project that has inevitably stalled. I'd throw Elizabethan in there too. Its the only period I previously knew almost nothing about.

Crimea - dabbled with DbN using Naps. Would love to do this some justice in a small scale at least.

Imperial Rome - first figures I ever put paint on but never been back to since. But those Aventines and Victrix.... Mmmmm...

WW1 naval (more Jutland than Coronel/Falklands).

The others are all skirmish-level, so all are eminently feasible, except the Inkerman/fog-of-war game because nobody makes British in greatcoats.....

VW - When you say you have some, are we talking 20mm Tumbling Dice Crimeans?
