Where are all the 28mm Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Dutch, Norwegians....

What is this 20mm that you are talking about? Oh... ah now I see, the poor cousin of 28mm Wargaming? :-P

Now, now, don't be scale-ist!

Who does 25 plus mm in skirmish, platoons; 1:300 SF  (for now, 1:600 conversions on my "to do list" fer sure,) 1:600 aircraft, and 1:6,000 ships to keep the terrain simple.

I want to sort of re-emphasize one of Steve's points: Utility. British, American, German, etc. troops are useful in most battles you will play, whereas the secondary powers will be useful only under certain circumstances.

As well, you can also use the main player's troops as stand-ins for the lesser armies. In a pinch, you can use Germans as allied Romanians or Hungarians, perhaps with a bit of converting (swapping some of those balkan fur hats for german caps for instance), British troops can stand in for Canadians or Aussies, and so forth.

Obviously it's not perfect and purists will balk, but you can see where the major factions represent not just economies of scale for the manufacturers, but also for players.

Ouch... thats a new -ist that I havent heard of before, and being called one... now thats harsh!

I would like to see some actual 28mm hungarians (I'm a hungarian as well ) so I can send them against my Lovecraft miniatures!

Hi, btw, this is my first post on the forum

There are a lot of unproduced ranges. But I think sometimes it is better not to have these ranges than a bad try to do it with big head and hands. Some ranges can be substituted with other ranges, like special SS-Units. Sometimes you can take older periods, because the equipment never changed. And the Rest: Wait for their time, like the Range of LAF with their lovely PA-Range

Greetings, Driller, you kinda slipped in here.         

There is an introductions thread if you want to be more formal..

How true 

[Frontal Assault 15mm]

RifRaf Miniatures do WW2 Greeks in 28mm.  As for the rest, well it's been covered.

[Golgotha]

Very wealthy indeed especially when one considers the incredibly vast array of aircraft and vehicles that are available - what is more, to boot, is that many 20mm minis reflect greater detail and accuracy than their larger counterparts. It depends really on what sort of level of conflict one wants to recreate the larger the scale the smaller the engagement and for small skirmishes playing Hungarians and the like certainly has an appeal. I must further add that there does unfortunately exist a certain prejudice against 20mm when in many ways it is the perfect balance between size and detail and thus encompasses many of the advantages of both 15mm and 25/28mm.

Here's pretty laid back and it was jest in fun.   

On... another forum... which I no longer visit... it actually was a put-down.

I have seen all the figures producted from the masters, but I had to check for any casting problems
I am waiting for 10 of each one to be producted and sent to me for inspection so i can get the best 5 of each for the production moulds to be done next
I will paint up all models soon and show them here soon
Thanks
David Burns
PS I have started my next project 15mm and hope to let you know about it soon
It has taken two years to complete this range.
anything else you think i have missed let me know. PM me

[Helen]

Sounds quite complete David, well done.

Cheers,

Golgotha... the title of the post is... *drum roll*... "Where are all the 28mm Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Dutch, Norwegians...."

However, another question. Why on earth would 28mm hungarians all of a sudden get large hands and heads? I fail to see what this means, and how this ended up in the discussion, and above all, if the hungarians all of a sudden would be made, why, I really want to know this, would they recive large hands and heads? *Shakes head in confusion*

Um, not sure where this came from...

Looking at older lines in the 1970's/1980's that logic would have left some genres without miniatures...
