Brink of Battle Scale
« on: 04 September 2012, 05:36:44 AM »
OK - now I'm torn.

Which is the most popular scale for BoB? 25/28mm, 20mm or something else completely?

I'd like to know what most folks use, so that if we happen to get together at a con somewhere, we can use more battlegroups.

The rules work best from 20mm-54mm.  Smaller than that poses Model's Eye View Line of Sight problems.  Most of us are using 25-28mm.

Just met some new customers at Pacificon.  The Chindits and Samurai were favorite project discussions.

I'm thinking about American Frontiersmen and American Indians, circa 1770s, for one group.

Maybe USMC and NVA in the 1960s for another.

I will be using 40mm Trident Miniatures AWI for one game, but mostly I use 28mm.
I am not a quack!  I'm a mad scientist.  There IS a difference!

No, but we had a great time. I'll be posting a review soon.  I have a couple of new sources that may grab the remaining books this week.
