LOTOW WITH 54mm?

[batpan]

   I am new here, in this forum. I want to ask if someone ever played Legends of the Old West with miniatures of the range of 54mm. Is it so simple as to double every distance? I ask because I have some Timpo toy soldiers out of action for many many years now (I am at the age of 40+) and it would be nice to see them active again.

I'd say go for it, I do WWII in 54mm, and it is great fun, and as I get older, and my eyes get worse, I find them easier to paint as well. Buildings and terrain can be hard work, but it looks great when all done. There are plenty of reasonably priced bits on e bay if you need to top up. It can be really rewarding and at skirmish level is hard to beat.

    :)Thanks a lot for your replies and you support. Your miniatures are amazing!
I had something less impressive in my mind. Something like my old Timpo toy
soldiers (cowboys, outlaws, apaches and banditos):

Just be careful not to break any of that Timo, they are worth a fair price these days and can sell for £80 each!
Old Deetail are a much safer bet!!
