"Large unit actions" Topic

Does anyone play 28mm Sci-Fi games with large units (battalions/regiments/brigades)and not the skirmish level of 40k?

I normally play battles with 40 to 60 infantry, 6 major armored vehicles, 4 to 6 wardrones, plus heavy support weapons, air power and command staff on each side. Battles can get larger than that when more than one battlegroup is involved on each side.

Hmm, would be hard to do with 28mm due to miniature size.

6mm, 10mm & 15mm might be better since you can really get bigger units onto the table.

So basically a beefed up platoon or under strength company action.

to have a Brigade/Division level type of battle you are going to need far more miniatures.

Perhaps he plays 1 to 10 so 40 figures is 400 troops

are there rules for large scale engagements – say a scaled down brigade a side?

I don't put usually large forces of 25mm/28mm figures on a Traveller/StarGrunt table. Two infantry platoons per side is pretty good for that kind of game.

That being said, I do actually have a complete company-sized Zhodani unit, including a cross-attached platoon of Sword Worlders, two types of warbots, and gcarriers.

I once got most of the company onto a table at a convention a few years ago, and it worked pretty well. There were six or seven players for a cooperative game. The table was oversized, like 6ft x 8ft. I ran the Imperials and other events.
