Hundvig Fezian is not a real big fan of pre-painted minis, and he positively despises randomly-packed "collectable" ones - so why is he writing this article?

I'm just curious if anyone has any experience or possibly comparison pictures for the scale on the Battlefield in a Box terrain for Team Yankee.

Are there any that do well with 10mm miniatures?

I've got a chunk of it, anything with a door or windows will look oversized with 10mm. In that scale you can't go wrong with N scale buildings sold to model railroad enthusiasts.

My husband plays the game in 10mm, and he and a friend went to a local model rail road show, and they cleaned up buying N scale buildings and what have you for terrain.

Look up Tomix/Tomytec and Kato N scale buildings. They are Japanese but the modern buildings could be from many countries.

There's also Outland models N scale. Modern buildings that assemble easily and are very reasonably priced. I use their HO scale stuff and am very happy with it.

Yeah, the Battlefront stuff is bog for some 15s. Way too big for 10s

Kato's N scale is my favourite, but can be pricey.

Thanks for the information – I'm aware of n scale buildings, I just run into the issue where they don't really look like modern buildings in the US and I'm most interested in these to run Red Dawn like scenarios.

Yeah, most railroad buildings tend towards the 1940s and 1950s (since that's when you have the most interesting mix of steam and diesel locomotives).

really modern trains are rather a niche market, relatively speaking.

Faller and Marklin do European stuff. But Red Dawn scenarios require American prototypes. Have you looked at the walthers.com N-gauge stuff? link

Some of those might work – I can get away with a mix of stuff, especially with using older looking freight warehouses and factories as they match up with what I see in the Eastern Washington area. I'll keep these in mind as I continue to look.
