That does look nice. The aesthetics look better than 15mm with the hub-to-hub thing, but I see that happening even in this guy's game. I really think it is a gamer thing to do that! You can get some really big games in with a 6' by 4' table in 6mm. The big sell to me with 6mm is that a platoon/company of 5 vehicles costs as much as about one vehicle in 15mm. That makes Team Yankee much more affordable. I hate the trees that I've seen in 6mm though. They are too small and look junky to me, but those 10mm trees…humm. Interesting. I might have to try that out. However I do love my 15mm toys. Something to chew on. |

Yeah, that's the problem, isn't it? A huge part of the draw for me is the 15mm models. 6mm may look good and make the scale more believable, but – 15mm T-64s! |

The good: No shoulder-to-shoulder "tank parking lot" as you would see in 15mm TY. The bad: 6mm are very small and lack the visual impact of 15mm. The ugly: I just don't like tanks on bases, sorry. |

The ugly: I just don't like tanks on bases, sorry. I suppose it's easier to move around that way. |

The good: No shoulder-to-shoulder "tank parking lot" as you would see in 15mm TY. The bases are still about as close together as the 15mm models would be. Remember that 4" in FoW is ~50 meters (pistol/SMG range), so a 15mm T34 tank is 25m long on the ground! I do agree that the bases are kinda jarring, though. |

Where's the infantry? I like infantry. |
