British and Prussian seem to be the easiest to get a hold of.
Loads of firms do suitable British and Prussian infantry etc.
These two armies seem to be the main protagonists in most peoples games.
I decided to be a bit different (well so I thought when I started but not now
) and go for British V Chinese.
From what I have seen the majority paint their figures in period correct uniforms so that they can use them in straight up historical games as well as VSF. But people also have the odd unit that would not fit anywhere else.
The list of opposing sides is only limited by your imagination.
Armies I have seen about so far are –
British (to fight my Chinese
)
Chinese (to fight my British
)
Russian
Japanese
Turk
American
Norwegian
Martian – various different ones (Green, high, imperial etc)
Venus Parrotmen
Venus Lizard men
Irish
French
Evil scientist’s henchmen
I am sure people here will come up with an even bigger list.
