"Old Glory 28mm vs Old Glory 2nd Ed 28mm" Topic

Hello Everyone!

Anyone know if the Old Glory 2nd Ed figs mix okay with the regular 28mm minis?

Thanks!

The 2nd edition are quite nice, but noticeably shorter than the original line. I don't suppose you'd have trouble putting them in separate units, though.

There's a fellow on TMP who had a comparison of his 1st and 2nd edition Old Glory Austrians, but I can't find the link at present.

The original Old Glory figures are true 25mm so they are shorter than the new second edition 28mm figures. The new figures, of which I have more than 10,000, are 28mm from the bottom of their foot to eye level.

Hardly any miniature lines mix in the same unit. Perhaps Elite miniatures mix with Connoisseur, but the latter are skinny in comparison. So don't expect OG 2nd edition to mix with 1st edition as it is almost unknown for any figure lines to mix.

I happily mix units from different manufacturers on the table top but not in the same units. If you have identical basing that ties the armies together. Some people don't like to mix manufacturers, of course this is a matter of taste.

You can find some images of Old Glory 1st edition and second edition if you go back through my blog

One thing you may want to keep in mind is that OGs figures are really cheap in comparison to other manufacturers, especially if you have the 40% discount army card.

But the dollar is strong against the pound again and that may help you buy from a manufacturer in the UK.

I can let you see images of most of the 2nd edition figures (if not all) as I sell them ready painted for $2 USD each. So drop me a line if you need to see something.

Cheers

Scott – I thought all the original lines from OG were true 25mm. I just checked an Austrian gunner (25mm), British infantry (28mm), Bavarian infantry (28mm). I never realised they differed.

Thus making my own point that you can't see the difference on the table!

I have the Old Glory Dave Allsop, 1st Edition and new 2nd Edition and they all mix together ok. I have Elite, Connoisseur and Mirilton Austrians on the same stand. I Also, have Elite, Old Glory and Connoisseur on the same stand.

The Elite and Connoisseur are in the front rank and the Mirilton on the back row. I put some wood under the Mirilton and brought them to eye level with the front rank and filled in the base with extra Liquid Nails. They look fine to me.

Thanks guys!! All this info really helps.
