The trouble, I fear, is that you chaps are thinking 28mm, maybe 15mm.
I don't suppose there's any point suggesting 20mm or 1/72?

I’m happy to do either 15mm or 28mm. Not so keen on the red haired step child of scales

EB, We may have to swallow the realisation that no bugger else likes the whiff of 20/1-72....

Yes, indeed. It is a pity.

It was pity that stopped them using 20mm. Pity we don't like 20mm, they thought...

20mm, 25mm,28mm I’m sure it would all work together. Plenty of people did it in the 70s. The Airfix ancients guides had Minifigs vs Airfix as its main battle description.

No, obviously not.
However... Isn't there an ancients version of Rank and File?

It would need to be like Rank and File but without any of the 18th Century period flavour elements. So exactly the same then.
