I am looking at doing Rapid Fire using te Valiant range but am looking for what other figures mix well with them to fill in the gaps such as engineers and flamethrowers etc. I've heard the horror stories about valient sizes but also been told that Raventhorpe do mix ok. Also what are the best vehicle range to mix wix valiant?

You certainly want figures on the bigger side, Raventhrope are probably OK as are their ready-to-roll vehicle range (which I find are also huge compared to other manufacturers).

For other ranges vehicles you want to stick to 1/72nd scale, which rules out MMS SHQ etc. Armourfast, Hasegawa etc would probably be OK.

The Little Prince and I use the Armourfast StuGs and Shermans for armoured support for our Valiant troopers, but they are quite small – I agree that 1/72 scale is a better fit

Thaanks any other manufacturers good for infantry mixing with valiant?

I think Valiant should mix okay with smallish 25mm lines like West Wind's Berlin or Bust line and 1/60 vehicles. And Battle Honours figures.

Probably mix well with Army Group North 1/56 models. These are supposed to be 1930's people after all!
