no, no there is only one scale... 28mm. Do not stray from the righteous path 

It's not a scale you donkey......

it's a way of life!

Anyway, if your not interested in 28mm for this genre then don't go 1/32 (1/35 for tamyia figures etc..). I would suggeste Flames of war compatibility would be a must if you were starting out, fives you loads of vehicle options, available at hobbycraft stores too if youve no local gaming store, (plus get discounted in their regular sales!) also allows you to go gear krieg when the weirdness takes hold.

Just my thoughts

The FOW online order is pretty good too. Certainly you can pretty much see what you are getting from the pics on the site. There are a few other companies out there too in 15mm (QRF, Peter Pig etc). I don't think there is much you can't get in that scale now.

I think the best scale for starters is 15mm. Reaosnable prices, wide ranges available and reasonable tables. Said that I play in 1/300 (larger games with a lot of armor), 15mm (company-battalion) and 28mm (squad platoon).

20mm is a nice combination between 28mm and 15mm and 10mm is also a nice entry point (sometime I think I could have switched from 20mm to 10mm instead of 15mm). 10mm can also a good alternative for larger games if you do not want to sacrifice detail.

Cheers guys what would you say the best scale is for playing aircraft wargames?
1/300 or 1/72?

1/600 myself, but started in 1/300.

1/72 is only useful if you have a ballroom or a gym to spare.

I'd probabaly go for 1/144 if just for air wargames. There's quite a selection out there in this scale and still some detail to be had on the models.

1/72 is only useful if you have a ballroom or a gym to spare.

You could easily play Crimson Skies with 1/72 planes, if you manage to make the stands fit into the hexagons.

[abhorsen950]

Right cheers guys ill probably stick with 1/72 as its what im familiar with for planes and its easy to get hold of for me.

Wings of war
Can anybody fill me in?
