So what was the biggest you have ever played in Terms of minis? For me it was roughly 300 minis and 12 tanks for a WWII setting. |

I'm not a figure counter so I have no real idea … These big TSATF multi player games have hundreds
See Will's report But 'biggest skirmish game' is a bit of an oddity (skirmish games ought to be small). I count TSATF as a skirmish game because of its clumsy 1:1 style mechanisms. But for such big games I'd rather use something like Black Powder. Next poll: when is a skirmish game not a skirmish game? |

I find that I disagree with the concept of the question. I would not describe anything as a skirmish game that is more than 40 figures and 3 vehicles per side. Mick |

Rather small, about 300 figures. Dark ages using LOTR SBG. |

My two biggest "skirmish" games were, a 28mm Rorke's Drift game, with hundreds of figures based indiviudlaly, but biggest for me was a 25mm Alamo games where some figures were based indivudally and some multiple per base. |

Well, I did a 25mm Zulu War game one time with TSATF rules that had something around 400 Zulus and around 120 or so British. And we wound up recycling Zulu. Individually mounted. I just ran Queenston Heights, as a sort of mega-skirmish, which had around 400 figures. Just off the top of my head. Eric |
