Yeah, I've been loving 10mm Fire & Fury since starting the period a year ago. :moredrink:
I like what you have done with your set up and I am going to do something similar. Although I will probably go with 4 figures rather than 3 per base.

Who makes the best 10mm ACW buildings. I am going to need some of these as well.

Any thoughts?

My ACW was fought around metropolitan areas composed entirely of Airfix thatched cottage and country Inn conversions.

I like to use buildings one scale down for larger size battles. My 10mm Napoleonics use 6mm buildings from Timecast and Leven who both do great ACW ranges too

Excellent idea, Mark.

I think I've posted these before but.........

Seven figures per base - regular F&F size bases.

Meant to say that these are Newline 10mm.
Newline currently have a 25% sale and they are compatible with Blaze Away I believe.

Hi Iain

If I went with standard size F&F bases I would use shallower depth and count each base as 2 and have some half bases for small change.


That way I could play 1/2 scale measurements and fit big battles on my kitchen table or my small 4 by 4 table in my painting room.
