Honourable Mention:
HeroScape, HeroClix, and MTG: Planeswalkers – really these are miniatures games, not board games, but sometimes they are counted as board games.

We used the ships from Broadsides for playtesting Don't Give Up The Ship, but we didn't paint them.

I suppose I cold toss in the monkey wrench here by nominating Stalk and North Cape.

Eagle Games has two sets issued with 1:72 playing pieces, although I just bought the horses separate to replace some of the old Airfix horses. They are pretty generic but they work

Tom D116 Nov 2018 2:03 p.m. PST

Conflict, an old Parker Brothers game. Small artillery pieces that fit in with 15-20mm. All that was left from the game I had 50 years ago. Just bought a new (old) one at Fall In.

joedog17 Nov 2018 8:45 a.m. PST

Are the GW/MB games too obvious?
HeroQuest
Space Crusade

And the FFG big box games with minis?
War of the Ring
Descent
etc.
