I should add of course that this is all based on experience with Peninsular and AWI if you are player later with lots of rifles, breech loaders and or cavalry then things do start to change.

Thanks

Peninsular is the period I'm interested in

I'm also thinking about a 20mm scale travel option too...

Then I think it will work pefectly on 4 x 4. Using 20mm you always have the option to go even smaller and exchange inches for CMs  if you prefer.

Cheers Capn Jim.

So I finally have just enough figures for a small Peninsular game with my 40mm collection.

British officers and Guerillas held in the centre of the table in a villa by a skirmish unit of French Legere. A unit of Guerillas, three units of rifles and a formation of 4 groups of Spanish march tot he rescue whilst five groups of French and 2 groups of Voltigeurs march to stop them.

Great fund, especially as both sides forgot their mission and wondered off, full write up with lots of pictures on the blog here: https://gapagnw.blogspot.com/2022/06/first-40mm-peninsular-sharp-practice.html
