A question of scale

[Conquistador]

Well I voted 15 mm but it depends.

1) I don't have any WW2 armies any more and have decided to not start the WW2 PTO forces I wanted to a few years ago, hence no 20 mm which is the local gold standard for WW2 non-skirmish battles.

2) My over all size preference for my prime interests is (Air Combat and mass battles is 3 mm which was not on the list or 6 mm,)  which makes up 100% of the former (3 mm/Air) and (for 3 mm and 6 mm) over 50% of the post-1938 historical and SF figures I currently own.

3) In some eras/genres there literally is only one scale for what I game (Soldados and Persidials are a bit thin on the ground in any scale...)

4) 15 mm seems a good compromise but so far I only have Fantasy, SF, Supers, and VSF in that size.  And there are miniatures sets in 25+ mm in those that I will keep anyway for skirmish/RPG oriented games.  Plus all the legacy Der Kriegspieler Fantasy figures...  sigh.

5) It does depend to a degree on what your local group is willing to play and the scale of your individual game plus all the "preferences" (rational or not) mentioned above.

Who makes these?

Are you familiar with the Valiant Plastics?

They look like AB to me. Those babies are the dog's wotsits.

Just when I thought it as safe to stay out of the water I see that NUTS, Final Version, may be released in June, 2014.  And will be fully compatible with the PTO supplement...

I am thinking I will get sucked in.  The only good thing is that I get to start from scratch...

Guess I need to revisit WW2 scale issues...
