The Loose Association of Wargamers

I think thats what I was trying to counter Jeremy - 10mm gives you as much detail as 15mm and greater volume of figures. I've got some legacy 15mm ancients figures but if it wasn't for them I couldn't imagine using 15mm for any future projects. Anyway its all about what you like and enjoy. Everything is good in wargaming. Plus Purps needs to go 2mm really.

I have some Odzial Osmy Napoleonic Revolutionary War figures in 3mm and they are excellent. I got them to use for 'amphibious actions' for 1/1200 Napoleonic Naval.
After painting and basing a few packs I am thinking of the potential for having battles using Regiments that look like Regiments (Using 150 figures in each).

I got very inspired by seeing the siege of Portsmouth game at Partizan. I wouldn't do ECW but huge battles/capmaigns with tiny figures does seem quite intriguing

Again, 2mm and 3mm. I don’t get the point. They don’t do anything 6mm doesn’t do and have zero visual appeal (IMHO)

Others seem to be able to produce fantastic results, and I'm always in awe!

10mm Figures aren't really 10mm anymore though they are creeping up towards old 1970s 15mm figures in size, although not there yet.
Leon would be the first to admit that Pendrakens newer ranges are much larger than their original figures.

and 15mm are virtually 20mm. Such is life

Couldn’t agree more. On both points. It wasn’t a rant, I’m just genuinely confused at the popularity of 2mm, 3mm and 10mm. And Spencer Smiths

I think they have plenty of visual appeal but not in the same sense obviously. If you want a battle to look like an oil painting of a C17th, C18th or C19th battle then 3-6mm works very well. The larger scales are either just for skirmish battles or are very abstracted from the look of the 'real' thing.
Both have their merits in the all inclusive church of wargaming.
Of course as said above Purps needs to drop down a scale or two just to feel like a 'real boy'

I think Purps should paint Austrian and Prussian Hussar Korps in 2mm. Single lines on the frogging, none of your washes and drybrushes!

Didn't vote as I can't see either, let alone paint the buggers.

They all look good, it's just what your eye prefers.
