WW2 in 6mm & 10mm (long since regrettably sold) 15mm, 20mm, 28mm, 54mm. Found 10mm the most fun for combined arms on a home sized table in a few hours using Rapid Fire. Have considered going back to 10mm.

Only done ACW in 20mm, 28mm and 54mm. Alex has a DbN supplement and Tim's Rally Round the Flag rules are great for a quick game or big battle.

Out of interest how did you base your 10mm for Rapid Fire. Yes I have 10mm and 28mm for Normandy type games as well and 15mm Eastern Front in addition to my North African stuff.

Didnt base vehicles. Infantry and artillery tended to be 40x40mm squares.

Just got one of Warlord games hourly emails and they have released the ACW skirmishers, wagons etc.

Stock up while available, you know what warlord can be like with their flavour of yhe month stuff.

I have WW2 in 6mm, 6mm, 6mm, 6mm, 1:4800, 1:2400 and 1:1200.

Having sworn I would never own anything in 5/6mm, I have to say that I am really enjoying my 1:300 coastal warfare vessels. Introduced my regular opponent to the TFL "Coastal Patrol" game on Friday as we christened his "Bunker" at the bottom of his garden (he took some photies which I shall try to obtain from him). I'll never be a COTOTS disciple, but the scale definitely has its place - you just have to remember where you put the stuff so you don't accidentally sit on it.

If you use pins or wire for the masts, you'll only do that once.

That's the one down-side of the Warlord 1:300 vessels - they've either got "broomstick" plastic masts for the speed-boat type vessels, or bendy metal ones for the slightly bigger chaps. Neither is ideal, but 3DP versions always seem a bit brittle.

Yes, mine are up for replacement with brass wire and a spot of soldering

Ah, nothing like a spot of soldiering to sort out the modern generation!

What? Oh, sorry......
