Dear all, Since time immemorial we've supplied infantry in packs of 10 or 20 strips. As time has gone its become increasingly obvious that this eminently...
I was wondering what 6mm gamers out there think the right size for buildings should be in their games. Although I am doing Napoleonics, I was wondering what is...
Hello Dale! The first problem is all 6mm figures are not the same size. They seem to vary from 5mm to 7/8mm. So different figures will look different beside...
Hello Dale, I don't play Napoleonics, but I do play Polemos. I tend to use 6mm scale buildings on standard Polemos bases, they give about the right impression...
Hi all Ive updated my 6mm website with a few new bits and pieces. Check the main page of the website for more details but some of the updates include: -Some...
I would have put up a poll, but either it is not allowed for this group or I am not allowed to start one. So, what figure-to-man ratio do you use? When it is...
No, this is not a body-building protein shake spamvertisement. :) How do you go about building massive armies? Do you buy them? Do you find like minded...
Hello Dale! Sounds like you plan a lot of extra work with new mounting and new rules as your collection grows. On April 1 Baccus Miniatures plans to release...
... See, I don't see it as a "lot" of extra work. After all, I never rebase the figures. Plus, by keeping the old bases (movement trays, if you prefer), I can...
Hello Dale! I understand. For years we mounted all of our figures on bases 5/8ths x 7/8ths. We could mix and match to play almost anything. Unlike you though...
... Hi rolf Great site and I like the names. I will add them to my links page. BTW your trench board is outstanding Cheers Kieran ... immediately. ... reports ...
... I am sure that is a function of finding enough like-minded fellows, which is always great. I, on the other hand, have found groups that each like something...
Hi Guys I'm interested in doing the Indian Mutiny in 6mm but haven't been able to find any figures I like. I know Irregular does alot of suitable figures but...
Good Morning, I am new to 6mm wargaming, but not to wargaming in general. My question is: What sets of Napoleonic rule play to the correct 6mm scale? In other...
Hi Alex Not quite sure what you mean by "true scale" gaming, unless you mean to game in 1:1 scale, for both figures and distances. The important thing for me,...
Hello Alex! The obvious one will be released on April 1 by Baccus Miniatures under their Polemos series of rules. They only manufacture 6mm figures so their...
... Polemos looks like it will be like Grand Armee in that it uses a big, single base as a manuever unit (although you can group them together) and you can put...
Hello Dale! ... GP: Polemos is two rule systems. One on bases like GA and designed for those who want to play big battles and the other covers smaller scale...
... I have played GdB before, but in 15mm scale. What size bases do you use for infantry, cavalry, commanders, and artillery batteries? Many thanks, Alex...
Have a look at http://www.theswamp.btinternet.co.uk/page9.html Commanders on 1p piece for brigade and 2p for division. S. ... From: britman14625 To:...
Hello Glenn! ... A _specific_ ratio? No, you are right, it does not have a specific ratio. If you feel that en masse does not tend towards lower ratios, then I...
Hello Dale! ... GP: No I think we now appear to have a similar definition. The lower the ratio the better but you also have to consider the scale of the game...
I have the Polemos English Civil War and War of Spanish Succession rules, and have played Great Northern War as well. The 60mm x30mm base size is only ...
Hello Dave! Looks like we have very similar views. Since you have three/played three of the Polemos rules system I must assume you like them. Are the common...
Hello Dave! Thanks for the great overview. I'm looking forward to playing with these rules. They look like the best thing to come a long in the past 25 years. ...
