Title: Best "15/18 mm" French Foreign Legion figures
Post by: Conquistador on 10 August 2014, 11:22:55 PM
Friend of mine is trying to entice me into the FFL supplement for TSATF (Really?) and while TSATF snores me (I play it because we are friends and he has the 25/28 mm armies painted) some 15/18 mm FFL that could double as VSF/FFL for other rules would be nice.  Who makes really good FFL in that size?

Gracias,

Glenn

Blue Moon Manufacturing do a good range, if you don't mind having to buy them by the hundredweight.

Okay, I don't understand this comment.

I did go here though - https://www.bluemoonmanufacturing.com/index.php?page=3&cat_id=104

Thanks for one source, any others?

foundry might have some small ones, but I don't remember the scale

btw, I don't get the thrill of playing foreign legion in mass army scale, because most actions would be rather skirmish level, unless one plays WW1 or so. Apart from rare occasions otherwise, the legion was there to impose european supremacy - company or batallion level at most

Which is TSATF in a nutshell.

Where is it written I have to use large figures? (I define large as 25+ mm.)  

I skirmish with 6 mm figures sometimes, BTW. I prefer 15 mm but I use appropriate 6 mm when I don't have appropriate 15 mm figures just as, as a last resort, I use 25+ mm figures if I don't have appropriate 15 mm figures or appropriate 6 mm figures.

You might just try accepting my choice to use 15 mm as a start.

 ??? totally Your business what You game with

I am used to people using smaller scale if they want to game with many miniatures, so I was just curious....

sorry, I did not intend to appear inquisitive
