Looking for buildings with a small footprint for my 15mm ACW troops. I'm using large scale rules where a stand = a brigade, so towns, buildings are abstract and more for show. I don't see much in 10mm, that would probably be ideal. Anyone know of a source? Perhaps even microscale.

We used Fiddlers Green card building from their New England range. Printed out at N gauge they work really well for both 10 and 15mm. Cheap to by and make and with a little help look great on the table.

We've got a pack of 5 10mm buildings, code PS35 on our website:

There's also the pre-painted Epsilon buildings we stock:

Another option…..

When I'm gaming with big units I use undersized buildings so a town is not just two houses. But it means my troops tower over the houses. Still I prefer this look. For a recent 6mm game I made 3mm paper houses (see photo at bottom).

For my ACW I bought a couple packs of the ACW house sets from Pico Armor/Brigade Games. I think these are billed as 2mm but this way my town base of 3" has a dozen buildings not 2 and gives a better overall look to the table, at least to my eye.

These are still WIP but you get the idea. The bases are 4" square.

I used Timecast 10mm and Starfort Models (then available from Langton for mine.

Pics of them with Peter Pig 15mm figures….

Just FYI I now own the line of buildings previously known as Starfort. They are sold under the name "Between the Lines" miniatures on my site.

Have you thought of checking out model railroad buildings (N scale)?
