What scale next?? 10mm or 6mm?

Could do with some thoughts/advice on what scale to 'invest' in next.

I really fancy getting into another scale, not only scratch an itch, but to give the option of maybe doing some more connected games of differing scales in a larger campaign 😀

I loved the look of the AWI game EB and CB played at last year's Ayton. What scale was that??

I think I'd feel a little daunted doing 6mm (just so small) but feel 10mm might be just enough detail to try to pick out, but not too intricate to take a absolute age painting a decent sized force.

What periods/scale do some of you guys have and what would you suggest, so we could use together at some point??

Cheers J

COTOTS does not recognise other scales than 6mm, although Leon's tasty 10mm porn has me thinking blasphemy.

Our game was 15mm. But go for 10mm. Pendraken AWI are lovely.

10mm. I did start down the route of Italian Unification via 10mm, the figures were beautiful and more importantly, still visible.

8.5mm - trust me, it's going to be big.

Well Baccus are technically 7.1 mm. Go 6mm, the mass effect is stunning done well.

Shall I tell Jamie about the 12mm WW2?

Multiply the 7.1mm by the 6mm and you get 42.6mm. Gloss varnish and Bob's your uncle.

May I please be the first pedantic git to point out that none of these are scales.
