Looking to start eastern front ww1 in 15mm. What ranges are out there and what thoughts on quality comparability? So far I have found Peter pig – small range, my fav figure producer, but no cavalry Minifigs – dated figures, but does include cavalry, but limited poses Eureka – nice figures but small range, also expensive here in UK and no cavalry Lancashire games – looks ok range, prices good but reviews suggest 18mm not 15mm so not compatible with others. Have I missed any? Are there other, non ww1 ranges that can happen fill gaps, especially cavalry, or other nations that could be used? Thanks |

Irregular do some- including cavalry and should be mixable with Piggies. |

Check out the Peter Pig early war French dragoons (mounted and dismounted) as a substitute for AH dragoons. Robert |

Lancashire I was really hopeful for but their 18s are as big as Airfix/HaT 20mm. QRF also has some figure and some great artillery and vehicles. Shawn |

I have thought about this a few times over the years. I would lean towards PP and Irregular for compatability with a large selection. Pendraken also has a 10mm line. It has A-H, Russians, and a few packs of Serbs for the East. |

Thanks all. Will have to be 15mm rather than 10mm. The French cavalry option looks good. |

Are you doing early war (1914-15) or later? In this scale, German figures in helmets (M1916 stalhelm) will serve as Austro-Hungarians for later war scenarios. |

I think earlier, Germans in picklehaub and the shako style cap for the Austrians appeal |
