1:285

1/3000 naval, but only down to 1/300 for my land forces.

15mm

Painted some 6mm but not gamed with them.
I do have Great War 10mm that have seen the elephant more than once. Usual scale is 15mm. I have 20mm (not 1/72), 1/72 plastic and some 28mm. Even a small group of 54mm plastic that have seen one skirmish game.

There seems to be a lot of ignoring the original stipulation …

(Excluding air, space and naval wargaming.)

I've not gone any smaller than GW Epic or BattleTech.

6mm. anything smaller and I just use cardboard counters or blocks.

6mm

I won't count sci-fi as "scale" figures….they are figments of someone's imagination.

The smallest scales I use are
1/6000 naval
3mm land combat…although I have some 1/700 stuff in there.
1/1200 aircraft….mostly to use in naval games.

I don't have opposing forces yet but it will be 3mm.

8mm (1:200) looks most convenient for napoleonics, 6mm with legs.
6mm is good for naked eyes, but 8mm looks better for cameras.

2mm

What scale are spaceships? That probably wins.

Otherwise, 1:285/6mm. (Ogre/GEV and also some Baccus Romans & Dacians, yet to be painted.)

Main fave, of course, remains 10mm. (Warmaster/BoFA).

Yesthatphil17 Feb 2016 4:53 p.m. PST

Realistically, 6mm …

I did some dummy bases in 2mm @ 1:1 ratio to show what was really on a base …

And I mix 2mm air and land with 1:1200 naval for games which might not necessarily fall under the Excluding air, space and naval wargaming proviso …

But really 6mm is the smallest for land warfare at the moment.

Land and air warfare in 1/87 1/72 scales.

Naval, 1/2400 scale.
