There's a large collection of Napoleonic flats for sale on eBay. Painted and based for wargaming. Oddly, no mention of the scale – I'm guessing 20mm, but they could be 30mm.

When you said flats I though you meant Flat bed truck lol. Very weird find if you ask me. Never seen anything like that before.

LOL. But perhaps not so weird if the seller is accurate dating these to the 50's or 60's. In say 1957, what would your options for available figures have been if you wanted to game Napoleonics ?


I wonder about the seller's strategy of saturating the flats category with so many sets at the same time but it could work out.

This one on the other hand is just nutty:

Flats are very poipular among painters in the larger scale figure collector's world:

That would be "popular"….

lol. In the 50's I wouldn't know what a wargame is. I would know what a soda fountine is though.
