I'm seeing a really cool game in my imagination. Tribes fighting tribes, Bronze age versus prehistoric, etc… Would like to throw out a few questions.
1. 15mm or 28mm ??
1a. 15mm either Copplestone fantasy or Essex Celts
2a. 28mm either Acheson design cavemen or Foundry bronze age and ancient Germans. 2. Rulesystem ?? massive battles in 15mm, or skirmish in 28mm
2a. if massive battles in 15mm, should I go with standard DBA/HOTT basing, or make up my own… say 80mm x 40mm The first of many… thanks. |

You can do individual skirmish with 15mm minis, but I'd be tempted to do ancient/tribal warfare in a larger scale. I want to be able to have unique heroes and watch them do badass things there. So my scale vote would be pushed very hard towards 28mm, unless you raided Khurasan, Rebel, and Splintered Light for characters, and then probably converted your own on top of that. battle-scale wise, I'm fond of GW's War of the Ring gamescale. the fighting unit is a 'company' of men, but characters are still capable of influencing the battle in a dramatic/heroic manner. |

For me its skirmish in 15mm using Copplestones fantastic figures. They are amazing. I am using M4 15mm penny washers to mount them. For rules I am using an altered adaption of Occult wars. |

Stephen Baxter's "Northland" trilogy (Stone Spring, Bronze Summer, Iron Winter) is of course set in a non-submerged Doggerland. |

Saw the title and thought it was a car park… Whoops! |

28mm – the One True Scale – of course! ;-) Steve Saleh just came out with some really nice cave men via North Star… |

Have a look at Mick Yarrow Miniatures Northern Barbarian range they might suit you. |

I suggest (read: what I really want to play) 28mm skirmish, with each side being an overall group of 5 to 25 people. |

All good suggestions. Will def. check out Stephen Baxter's "Northland" trilogy (Stone Spring, Bronze Summer, Iron Winter). |

Not much naval gaming, then? |
