Yes, O scale track is way too wide for 28s, you could never tie a victim to the tracks across the rails.S scale trains (1/64) work better with 25/28s. Usually you can get old American Flyer equipment on the cheap. American flyer track however is very toy-like. I picked up some MTH brand S scale flex track on EBay that looks superb.
I have to agree with many of the above ... 15mm is the best to go with. Exotic machinery, vehicles, buildings and other terrain accessories are going to take up way too much space on the board if they are done for anything bigger than 15mm figures. And the cost for filling an entire board with accessories bigger than 15mm is nearly prohibitive.
And of course always 28mm due to the details on models and terrain pieces.
However, to say that “You can tailor a (28mm) game to fit any size table and any budget” can be a bit of a stretch for many people with limited storage space, funds, portability options, etc. So saying “any” is also subjective. Fortunately for them, there are other “scale” choices available.Dan
25/28mm for me for all my VSF games.
I don't agree with that statement at all. How can you say the above will take up too much space on the table? Why do you have to fill the table with everything?You can tailor a game to fit any size table and any budget. Here is a very good example of a 28mm game played on what looks like a 4ft x4 ft table with minimal vehicles and figures:http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=114520.15The whole 15mm Vs 25mm debate will never be settled. There's arguments for both, but to say 15s is best is completely subjective.
I guess, throwing THIS out here, that some larger battles could be done with 3mm or 6mm figures???
There are a couple of us contemplating using 10mm figures and having flyers et al for grand scale games.
So, why are you still contemplating and not doing?!?
