Why would you do ancients in 28mm?

You can indeed do sabots.

Really cool people do 20mm squares.

Yeh. Wot you said.

I've abandoned my 25mm shiny medieval project and I'm going back to my faithful 20mm ancients on pretty bases.

The Xyston figures I've seen do look rather smashing, but I've heard that there has been some scale drift. I don't know if that's within armies......or if it's even true.
