Do you use 6mm scale exclusively for your wargames? (Excluding, of course, periods/genres for which 6mm would be ill-suited.) * yes, exclusively
* no, but 6mm is my primary scale
* no, but I use some 6mm
* I don't use any 6mm
* not a wargamer |

No but I use some 6mm. I used to game exclusively in 6mm but was lured away by dark age 28mm plastics and have found myself drawn to larger scales as my eyesight has deteriorated. |

Which periods/genres would they be then?
Indeed so.
Do tell.
EDIT:
Thinking about it, space fleet and naval combat could be tricky..

No but 6mm is my primary scale |
| Dave Crowell | 30 Dec 2011 4:04 p.m. PST |
I play in too many scales. The scale I play in least is 28mm. 6mm is third after 15mm and 40mm (one period but a lot of gaming), then comes 3mm. I am finding painting 6mm to be less enjoyable these days. |

* no, but I use some 6mm I do 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, and 28mm….. |
| jay138 | 30 Dec 2011 4:06 p.m. PST |
No to small 28mm all the way. |
John Leahy  | 30 Dec 2011 4:13 p.m. PST |
No, but I do game in 6mm, 3mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 28mm, 54mm and so on. Thanks, John |

I don't use any 6mm. Robert |
| GoneNow | 30 Dec 2011 4:37 p.m. PST |
* no, but I use some 6mm I am finding that a lot of the 6mm I had been doing slowly changing to 3mm. Also a lot of the larger skirmish stuff has been switching to single based 6mm. |

| Dale Hurtt | 30 Dec 2011 5:14 p.m. PST |
* no, but I use some 6mm I recently declared that I wanted to move to 6mm for all of my "mass" battles, but then I look at my 15mm FOW collection, my 15mm DBA Ancients collection, and my even larger 15mm AWI collection, and I find it hard to let go. I also declared to go to 42mm for my skirmish games, but I look at my excess, singly-based 15mm AWI collection, my 28mm WW II collection, and my 28mm fantasy/space fantasy collection and find it hard to let go. The problem, of course, is that I swore I would never sell a painted figure, ever again. At this point you might be wondering if I even have any 6mm… :^) Dale |
| J Womack 94 | 30 Dec 2011 5:18 p.m. PST |
* no, but I use some 6mm And I am adding more… |
| Dynaman8789 | 30 Dec 2011 5:50 p.m. PST |
15mm is my primary scale, but 6mm is second. |
| raylev3 | 30 Dec 2011 5:59 p.m. PST |
* no, but I use some 6mm WW2. |
| Mooseworks8 | 30 Dec 2011 5:59 p.m. PST |
* no, but I use some 6mm Still game with 15mm and 28mm but for modern and sci-fi I'm scaling down to 6mm. Thinking hard about selling my 15/28 stuff to buy more 6mm. Might do the same with other periods if the minis are right. Hard to see letting go of 15mm fantasy though, it's got me! I collect 6mm to 54mm. |
| Pictors Studio | 30 Dec 2011 5:59 p.m. PST |
I do some 6mm, all sci-fi at this point. |
| Micman | 30 Dec 2011 7:34 p.m. PST |
I have WWII, modern and sci-fi in 6mm. At one point it was my primary scale. Currently I have more 6mm painted than any other scale. But I expect that to change with 15mm being my scale of choice. |
| Stern Rake Studio | 30 Dec 2011 9:27 p.m. PST |
No, but 6mm is my primary scale, specifically for large-scale actions. I use 28mm for RPGs and skirmish games. Ted |

However this more due to space in my flat, and the availability of scenery, and models. |
| Dr Mathias | 31 Dec 2011 7:10 a.m. PST |
(Excluding, of course, periods/genres for which 6mm would be ill-suited.) Which periods/genres would they be then? Would 'space corridor' and 'dungeoon crawl' games (Space Hulk being a prime example) fall into this category? I suppose one could do it in 6mm… but why? *no, I don't have any 6mm. |
| GoneNow | 31 Dec 2011 8:00 a.m. PST |
Back in high school we played more then one game of Space Hulk using non-based Epic figures and the little map "layout" tokens.
So Space Corridor and Dungeon Crawls are not one of the "ill-suited genres".
But I think fleet level naval and spaceship games would probably be some of the ill-suited types. |
| Martin Rapier | 31 Dec 2011 9:14 a.m. PST |
"naval combat could be tricky" We used to use 1/300th scale stuff as land support for our 1/600th scale naval battles. Anyway, I game in many scales from 2mm to 54mm, but 6mm is one of my more popular ones (Napoleonics, Colonial, WW1, WW2 and Moderns). |

| Ron W DuBray | 31 Dec 2011 3:59 p.m. PST |
nope but I have enough to play some WWII battles. |

| Grand Duke Natokina | 01 Jan 2012 10:15 a.m. PST |
I do not use them, and stay strictly in the 20 to 25 mm range. |
| Paul S | 02 Jan 2012 3:22 a.m. PST |
* no, but 6mm is my primary scale (WWII, Nap, Sci Fi)
Also have 15mm WWII, Nap fleet in 1:2400 & dystopian. so for me generally smaller better (but mainly for storage reasons plus I love big scale battles. |

| HistoryPhD | 08 Jan 2012 5:39 p.m. PST |
Yes, exclusively (except for WWII naval, which obviously would present the odd size problem in 6mm) |
| TamsinP | 11 Jan 2012 3:33 p.m. PST |
No, but will be using 6mm for some periods/rules |
| Elenderil | 29 Mar 2012 11:58 a.m. PST |
It's my primary scale followed by 2mm and25mm. Larger the action the more tempting small scales become. |
| Grizzlymc | 29 Mar 2012 3:33 p.m. PST |
Yes Hey AB, funny you should say that, I have always thought that it would be fun to do boarding 1:1 in naval wargaming with 6mm figs and stylised foam ships. |
| fatbag26 | 08 Apr 2012 6:11 p.m. PST |
I use 6mm sometimes, but will probably jump ship from 28 to 6

yes exclusively Building Napoleonics
Have (and will get to at some point) Ancients, ECW, 7YW, FPW, Modern |
| MadDrMark | 13 Apr 2012 5:29 a.m. PST |
Used to do a lot of 6mm, but I have given it up in favor of 10mm. Easier on my eyes to paint and play with. |
