Tired of fielding the same boring armies, Just for fun Pithead have released a range of Belgium tanks pictured on their website. Looking for something even more obscure ? how about Norwegians, Slovaks or Jugoslavs, anything's possible in 10mm and it won't cost an arm and a leg. link |

A line after my own heart. If they were only in 15mm. |

I second the call for 15's…. |

I thought Belgian tanks were available in 15mm? Maybe not. My recollection is that they are mainly brown…. |

Belgian tanks are. Apparently, these are "Belgium" tanks. |

True North do a T13 type 3 IIRC, but not much else currently available in 15mm, until Stronghold are back up and running. (I have their T15s and Vickers tractors, both very nice.) |

Did the Belgian tanks actually do anything? Like help out in the classic defence of Eban Emael? And why were they brown? |

Yes. No. Because it's good camouflage on muddy countryside. |

Man – these posts are distracting with bouncing betty and dancing banana – sort of like duelling banjos with Icons. Nice figures – I don't do 10mm – I like my 15mm figs please. |

As you say,15mm is agreat scale for wargaming (its my favourite for other periods) but you will never get anything more than a token army excepting the usual suspects in anything but 10mm or 6mm as the production costs to sales ratios on the rarer items look like bad business propositions.
Both these scales are a hell of a lot cheaper than the larger scales and the detail is every bit as good as most 15mm (but perhaps not 20mm). |
