Not sure how useful these buildings would be for games

[Conquistador]

Saw these https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1176713488/a-house-in-your-hand-architectural-miniature-model?ref=nav_search on KS, naturally, the source of all temptation...

Since I am becoming an aerial (3 mm) and  (15/6/3 mm)  land war gamer predominantly but still have 25+ mm figures this looked mildly intriguing.  How useful do you think these would be for war games?


1/144 -  8.7x4.9 metres approx - according to TMP 11.2 mm
1/148 -  8.9x5.0 metres approx - according to TMP-  well, did I miss it?
1/152 -  9.1x5.2 metres approx - according to TMP -  well, did I miss it?
1/160 -  9.6x5.4 metres approx - according to TMP 10.06 mm

so, if I have the chart right, these are variations of "10/12 mm suitably sized" buildings?

It really depends on the kind of game you want. Let me pose you a question:

How often do you find your ground (terrain) scale matches your figure scale? I.e. in 15mm (1:100 roughly) a normal 4x6 table represents 400' by 600' ?

Always? Then you want matching scale buildings.

If not, you want something smaller. How much smaller depends on a variety of factors.

In my games, as a rule of thumb 15 and 6 mm can run from skirmish (yes, you can skirmish in 6 mm) which might include entering buildings (literally putting the figures in the buildings or off table on a series of room layouts) to mass battle of varying sized conflicts where you indicate what units are in what buildings.  My 3 mm would be mostly aerial and these would be targets.

Edit:  Room clearing skirmishes could quite easily fit in a 400' x 600' representation.
