Great minis but why can't they post the effing scale plain and clear?

1:30 according to their 'About' page, so no use to most wargamers, more the domain of the eccentric few.

What does highlanders version A and B mean? Different Heads or completely different figures?

I imagine you can use anything as a back story for Pulp Alley.
 
I think T&T because its for largeish skirmish with a good mix of heroes and a few units.  (Or smallish unit based game with an over representation of command types, if you are the glass-is-half-full type of game).

Start out with Pulp Alley for small skirmishes, then move on to larger skirmishes with T&T when your collection grows

Variations of the existing two packs. These will hopefully be available by April.

Both Triumph & Tragedy and A World Aflame are suitable and both available from Empress Miniatures.  We tend to use the latter nowadays cos its what I wrote.

I really like the Empress miniatures and wish we had lots more! 


Pulp Alley is definitely a good choice if you're wanting a game that's going to play at a quick pace and has bit of an "adventure" feel. We usually play with about 5-15 figures per player.

You can download the free version of Pulp Alley from Wargame Vault if you'd like to see how the basic mechanics work - http://www.wargamevault.com/browse.php?manufacturers_id=5628

Must confess to not being a great lover of army lists.

I am working on native units of between 8 and 10 figures made into warbands of between 2 and three of these with a leader and perhaps the addition of a support weapon.

Then two or three of these warbands.

One warband of cavalry. perhaps 12 figures as a strike force.

A central command and centrally controlled support assets. For example we are just about to release an FT17 tank and I fancy painting a captured one painted faded red with lots of jinglys and flags all over it. Perhaps even an old WW1 fighter much patched and in need of repair.

As you can see I am going for historically based pulp
