6mm? Might as well play a boardgame! ;)

And wearing a tricorn around my house.

That must be one huge tricorne.

I'm a big 6mm fan, always have been. You can achieve different things depending on what you're after. Small games in a small space is one, or proper representation of big battles on normal sized tables is another. I like both.

I'm currently working on SYW games where there's plenty of scope to fit the approach march and pre-battle manoeuvring on a big(ish) table, with the armies only taking up a small(ish) proportion of it when they actually engage. This leaves room for reserves, Freddy's flank marches, Austrian converging column attacks, etc. Should be fun.

And that's why Dave has volunteered to put on Rossbach in 1/1 next year for us.

Smart ass, I was going to invite you and the local chapter over for a game but you can poke it now!

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Fair play, though Purps - he's giving you a choice of fingers.....

I like all sorts of games

Spent about 18 months worth of Bank Holidays playing Empires of the Middle Ages:

And still have a board game which involves collecting dead bodies in a plague-stricken West Country town. I do fancy converting that to 28mm

There's a thread on LAF talking about the Pete Berry article (which is just Pete being Pete) which made a good point about 6mm, that it's the terrain that is the key point, not the figures. It's a battle in a landscape, not a battle that has a couple of bits of landscape thrown in as a last resort. Railway modellers have a similar discussion about N and Z gauge.

I'd quite like to do it (6mm I mean) but can't paint 6mm with any degree of satisfaction - EB's yer man for small scale stuff. I'm looking at a few 10mm figures but really I don't think I can go lower than 15mm (it's my back doctor).

I'm intrugued. What game is it?

Board games are branching out though, I mean look at the success of games such as Conan and Zombicide? Yes, they can be converted to tabletop games, however they were designed as board games

Sounds like an excuse for an outbreak of bad Monty Python impersonations...
