I'm at a bit of a loss as far as finding vehicles to support the rather nice Empress 28mm Chinese. Other than the one amphib APC Empress (Impact) do there seems to be very little out there. Any suggestions? |

Not much out there I'm afraid. You are going to be limited to a T-55 which the Chinese did a knock off version of. The more modern tanks differ considerably from Russian designs although based on Russian designs and including some western tech. |

One other thing there is a diecast toy Type 99 for sale on EBay in 1/48 scale. How accurate it is I don't know. |

I know that Battlefield Evolution made some. My US M1 fits Ok with 28mm figs---not sure about the Chinese ones?? |

thanks von trink, but we only make 1/72 chinese vehicles, a bit small for 28mm imho! |

Battlefield Evolution stuff is small. Around 1/60 I think. Won't fit well with the Empress APC. The figures they did were true 25mm. |

There is that 1/48 Type 99 that you find on ebay or aliexpress sometimes. I have seena 6X6 wheeled fire support vehicle but it is mnstrously large for 28mms. You can never go wrong with BMPs and BTRs. Mind Empress make enough heavy support weapons that you may want to reconsider any vehicle as being survivable on the table. Keep in mind, not all Peoples Liquidation Army are mechanized either. |

BF Evo is a non starter as they are rather small – they declared them as 1:64 IIRC Cant find that die cast type 99 anywhere |
