I agree with James 20mm is the way to go cost wise especially on vehicles.
Here is my T2000 force.

I hope this helps. |

I hope badger are still open, as they ( if I remember correctly ) are the owners of the line now, and I still want to expand my Brits and Russians, ( with a possible move into a couple of other forces) |

Don't count on Badger Games to be available. The owner seems intent on not being contacted and if you did get some minis it would be hard to expand your force. |

Badger must be related to Cromwell!!! Tally Ho! |

Vehicles at a hobby shop may be a bit problematic if you go with GW-sized minis. Depends on who you ask, but 28mm is very roughly 1/56 scale. I have used 1/48 and 1/43 scale minis with 28mm figures (it looks OK because of the thick base on the infantry), but modern ground vehicles in 1/48 are a bit scarce. I think you'd be much better off if you went with 20mm minis, as those correspond to 1/72 scale or thereabouts. There's LOTS more options in 1/72 than in 1/48. |
