Cars in wargames. Scales, size, brands...
« on: March 21, 2021, 11:09:51 AM »
I made this post long time ago after being asked so many times about the cars I used when playing Fear of the Dark skirmish wargame.

It's a compilation of information on toy cars, brands, different scales and their use in wargames.

A lot of people found it useful, so I would like to share it with you just in case it could be of any help.

Thanks a lot, I hope you find it useful.

I usually play in a 20's/40's setting, but as I also play dome modern games, I included those two different settings' cars

It's always a problem with the scales, but once you hog a car you think that fits, you got the right measures and can buy online provided that the measured are provided by the seller.
