10mm and 15mm But I would add 'Cards' to the list of choices. My favourite ACW game by far is Blue vs. Gray by GMT games: link |
| Mapleleaf | 11 Feb 2012 8:28 a.m. PST |
6mm -allows units and battles that look good in a realistic area |
| Martin Rapier | 11 Feb 2012 9:54 a.m. PST |
Most of the ACW gamng I've done has been with 2mm, similar mass effect as 6mm but much easier to paint:) |
| TKindred | 11 Feb 2012 10:29 a.m. PST |
At 2mm scale, I'd be using spray-painted armies of blue & grey, possibly dipped. |

20mm and plastic – I've far too many to ever consider changing now ! |

Thought about 1/805 (2mm) and been following link (and still waiting for part 6 – hint) Tried 1/107 (15mm) for skirmish and thinking about this again using 61-65 rules |

1/72, not too small for old eyes yet not so big that large battles are a problem. |

15/18mm. Still beautiful individual figures as well as room to manuver on the table top without the phalanx syndrome.

Used to play 15mm then switched to 28mm which I prefer but it can depend on what type of game you want. For big battles 15mm and below is better, I've seen some terrific set ups in 6mm. If I was starting over I'd probably go 10mm with the new Kallistra range which are brilliant. As I'm more and more into fighting with individual Brigades using large (40 – 50 figure) Regiments, 28mm units are visually imposing and hard to maneuver, which brings in another dimension. |

10mm Kallistra ACW, so that makes them 12mm, either way stunning sculpts |
| Bottom Dollar | 16 Feb 2012 6:45 p.m. PST |
I see a consensus pick. 54mm
28/25mm
(18mm)
15mm
(12mm)
10mm
6mm
(2mm) *I'll take 15mm's or thereabouts* |
| Kadavar | 17 Feb 2012 5:15 a.m. PST |
6mm now, but moving to 10mm. You still get the big battle feel but have enough detail to be pleasing on the eye. |
| Olaf 03 | 17 Feb 2012 7:03 a.m. PST |
20mm, there is a good selection of both metal and plastic figures. |
| Old Slow Trot | 17 Feb 2012 8:00 a.m. PST |
15mm,mainly. But can handle 6mm and have done 20mm. |

10mm – got rid of everything bigger with no regrets. |
feels it's important to celebrate progress in one's personal hobby life.
