Warlords has taken a big set to produce a zulu war Rorke`s Drift boxset. What sets would you like to see made? Any period? Charge of the Light Brigade in 28mm would look stunning. |

Now we are going back to the old "Marx" playset thoughts, very cool, Marx actually did a Charge of the Light Brigade playset in H.O. scale hard plastic. If I could get a set in a "big box" I would want Ligny, Borodino,Trenton,and you have to go with Waterloo, done in seperate sets that make one giant set, and Gettysburg, and how about the battle of the pramids just to round things out. |

For the amount of money these "big sets" cost you will want something with high replay/ alternate scenario value. I would like to see:
Indian Mutiny with British, Sepoys and Natives with a couple of generic Indian buildings, barricades and stores.
French Foreign Legion in Mexico; FFL, Mexicans, peons and some Pueblo buildings.
Or same pueblo buildings and Pancho Villa vs Federales.
US Cavalry vs Indians (Plains War) mounted/dismounted for both sides plus wagon train/stagecoach. |

Roman street scene in 28mm…civilians, bldgs, gladiators, soldiers, facades. |

An AWI set (Saratoga if I had to pick a theme) would give you lots of potential to game other conflicts in the war (assuming you're not too fussy about uniforms). Needs regulars, militia, Indians, cannon, a few generals and some dragoons. Bob |

Agree with Bob about an AWI set, although I might go more towards Brandywine/Germantown. RobH has a nice idea with a Plains War set, too. I think there's a lot of possibilities were a company to seriously look at doing this. Eric |

GUNFREAK, need a three man team to deliver that lot. Still not my problem. Or battle of kursk russians in one box Germans in the other |

I think little building sets with troops for both sides is the best model. Next I'd do the Hougomont farm at Waterloo. Imagine this in 28mm? link Not little, so maybe it's two sets? The Alamo has been done a few times, but what about Ft. Brown?
Kind of Vauban-like, and with a battle history to go with it. |

Dunno if we can include fantasy, but the GW Battle of Five Armies box set is pretty cool. Not my usual sort of thing but I was impressed by this – decent rules if you like Warmaster, lots of 10mm minis, hills, and card river. Great stuff. |

Danmer all periods all welcome |
tries a stucco repair product to contour his bases.
