They say 18mm on Eureka USA site but 15mm on Eureka's Aussie's site? I just need some dismounted Cav & a few other guys.
Thanks in advance!

How about Battle Honors? The horseholders seemed close to the OG infantry (heightwise that is)that I had in my ACW army. |

The BH range was sculpted by Anthony Barton, who did the Eureka range too. I've all three ranges, plus Essex, but the only BH figs I have are arty. They seem good enough with the OG I have, not as large as the Eureka ones, but still a bit larger. |

Yes, Eureka figures are larger than the Old Glory15s and Battle Honors (somewhere in between 15mm and 20mm). Kudos to Rob Walters (Eureka USA) for putting the "18mm" on his website. On the other hand, the larger 18mm's look fine on any table with the smaller 15mm's, although I would not recommend putting them on the same stands or in the same units. So, for that reason, I will not level any criticism at Nick of Eureka-Australia! |

Thanks everyone. I was at H-Con & compared them myself. I thought (as well as many others) they work just fine together. I bought em!
Thanks again!

I mix Eureka and Old Glory 15mm on the same stands all the time. Most single figures for specific purposes. For example, if I need a particular officer figure, or a flag bearer. You can't really tell a difference. At least I cannot. You CAN tell the difference between Eureka and Battle Honors 15mm on the same stand, even though they have the same poses. Not by much though, and I also do it all the time. |
