I bought a 15mm AWI army from Ebay and it has many old style Old Glory figures as well as some Minifigs. Does anyone even sell the old Old Glory 15s anymore? The Blue Moon figures look nice. Does anyone know if their height is close to the older line? Also, does anyone have any comparison of Peter Pig figures to the Old Glory 15mm lines?

Thank you,

I'd be surprised if any of the lines you mention fit with blue moon, which are explicitly 18mm.

given the dating of scultpting styles too
- taking the Perry independent line as a turning point, pre prerry they tended to be ovely muscled like fantasy figures, post perry they tend to be thinner like people (usesd to be),
I think you may be doubly out of luck – but someone will have phots to confirm one way or another.

OG is fine together in separate units – more for style than height. Peter Pig are definitely too small for Blue Moon (even in separate units – those are the two extremes in "15/18mm") PP literally, look like units of children compared to BM.

You're pushing it with PP with most ranges.

Old Glory 15's still sells that range: oldglory15s.com

AWI is one of Blue Moon's larger ranges. I would not mix them with OG15 or PP in units. They will look fine in different units.

I think the ACW figures are Blue Moon's largest, and I have happily used BM regiments with Peter Pig regiments with no problem. In my last game they made up two adjoining regiments, and no one even noticed.

Thank you gentlemen. Does anyone have a picture comparing Blue Moon to the other lines? I already have Minifig and Old Glory 15mm in different units so there already is some variation in my ranks. I bought the ebay troops so I could play until I put together a more ideal army.
