If you could go back and start over on your collection would you collect only one scale for all of your gaming? If so what scale would it be? I've narrowed it down to three for myself, either 6mm, 10mm or 1/72. Pick on and stick with it. However as you have observed I couldn't pick just one to narrow it down. So if the great eraser was about to wipe it all out except one I suppose I would say 10mm. |

I think I could do 2 sizes but not just 1. I'd do 15mm and 6mm. 6mm only cuz I need my mecha action. Otherwise it'd all be in 15mm. |

No, I would not. I had great experiences in all of the scales in which I've played and painted, even though I paint and play almost exclusively in 25mm now. |

I'd change scales over time … depends on what your interests are and how long you've been at it |

after2003- 2004 (the year of a series of unfortunate events). Our house flooded and we lost almost everything. So, hobby wise I did have to start over. This time I went with one scale (25mm) and limited my time period to Crimean War. Of course since then I have added American Rev War and now War of 1812. But I have kept it all in 25mm. Makes life easy. |

Probably would stick to two scales – 10mm and 28mm |

If I lost everything, the rebuild would be 1/72. But to the extent I'm rationalizing the armies, it's 5/6mm and 28mm, with 1/72 strictly for a travel army. |
| Winston Smith | 15 Oct 2018 5:08 p.m. PST |
I would stick with 25/28mm.
I like the look best. |

I like 54mm by far the best, but am now considering a project in 20mm. Just goes to show… |

I would probably do 1/72 plastics for everything. There are so many nice sets out there now. |
| FusilierDan | 16 Oct 2018 3:20 a.m. PST |
No. Some periods look better in certain scales. Having said that if I was just starting out with what's available now I may have just stayed with 1/72 plastics but those 40mm Little Britons do look nice:-) |

No I would not limit to one scale. If, hypothetically, I had to for some external reason over which I had no control, 15mm. |

Nah,I love Indian food but I wouldn't eat it every day.
Variety is the spice of life as they say. |

I'm with 6mm and stick'n to it ! |
| Whirlwind | 16 Oct 2018 9:55 a.m. PST |
No, I wouldn't go back and just collect one size of figure. I like 6mm for big battles and 1:1 company-level actions, but I would want at least one from 15mm, 20mm or 25/28mm for skirmish gaming. |
| Micman | 16 Oct 2018 9:55 a.m. PST |
I would do many of the scales that I currently do. Different scales for different types of games. |
| Hobhood4 | 16 Oct 2018 10:36 a.m. PST |
Just sold all my 28s and started over with 15mm. Not that many figures as I wargame small in small spaces. I wish I'd always used 15s. Much faster to paint – at least in my style. I'd have got a lot more done with my restricted time. |
| Oberlindes Sol LIC | 16 Oct 2018 12:45 p.m. PST |
If I did have to start over, I think that I would concentrate on three scales: 25/28mm for people; micro scale (1:285 or 1:300) for company to battalion level actions; and some scale that results in spaceships that are about 1-3 inches long. |

If i started over, id do everything in 28mm. |
| oldnorthstate | 17 Oct 2018 6:03 a.m. PST |
Started with 15mm, then transitioned to 28mm and finally to 40mm for a couple of periods…sold all the 15mm but still have duplicate periods in both 28mm and 40mm. |
