NOOOOOOooooooo!!!! Re: What scale?

;->=

Major disagreement between the 25mm and 15mm, with the occasional piping up of
the 6mm group.

Archives? How do I check those?

Ahh 15mm, I forgot about that one! Well, I would like to hear opinions on all
of those scales regardless of the bees nest I might be opening!:)

Personal preference - 15mm figures using 25mm ground scale.
Main reason - I have a big pile o' scenery and stuff left over from a
previous delve into 15mm SF gaming about 10 years ago.
Advantages - figures are cheaper, require less space to store, are
quicker to paint (simply because of less surface area to cover!)
Disadvantages - much less variety of figures available. O, how happy I
would be if JonT found a 'debigulator' and somehow shrunk all of the 25mm SG2s
down to 15mm as well.

StarGrunt is on order. Normally I do EVERYTHING in 15's, but there is a strong
case for 25's for pure skirmish games. The strongest case is that I can steal
my son's SciFi 25's which are already painted. Even have some big butt ugly
aliens ready to go. For WWII, another reason I ordered StarGrunt, it will be
15. Why? 'Cause I already have them.

I'll need to add some Egyptian looking guys. Maybe a big ring or something.
(Anyone know where can get a fully functional 15 or 25mm Stargate?)

I hate painting 25's. They are much harder to do than 15's.

For skirmish 6mm is a waste. 25 is best, 15 is cheaper and easier, anything
else is too small or too big.

Not really. Where other folks use 25mm and 1"=2 meters, I use 15mm figs and
1"=3 meters. Works just fine.

In my case, the case was the fact that I have a bunch of painted ones already.
I've got soooo much stuff to paint I could quit my job and just paint for the
next year. And yes, normally I always prefer 15's. 25's are too hard to paint.
They take just too much shading and detail.

Mikes Short List of Painting Projects

1) Narn Fleet for next weeks club game (mostly done, enough for battle) 2)
Earth Allience Fleet for next weks game (Note: Enough are done for the battle)
3) Pirates for a Wild West campaign game. (Okay, so it isn't exactly Gunsmoke)
I'm doing them Pillaging 4) Early Imperial Roman Army (About 300 figures) 5)
Austrian Generals (Just a couple) 6) AWI Indians and Militia. Nasty nasty
warfare 7) ACW for Fire and Fury. I'm not reforming my JR stuff. 8) Finish the
WWII stuff, it's 15mm and should work well the SGII 9) New NAC Fleet that
should arrive this week.
10) Bits and pieces for the Celts, Carthaginians, and Amazons - you
know, Historicals
11) Peasents -  I need them for my "Peasents are Revolting" scenario.

I'm considering some 25mm Fantasy Egyptians for a StarGrunt thing, Maybe some
Chinese Laundry workers (some Tong and maybe even a ShaoLin Monk for the
aformention Historical Wild West campaign).

On hold is the Cave men, until someone rules if Prehistoric can be lumped in
with Historic Ancient gaming (preancients?)
