As a follow-up to this thread: TMP link what scale(s) do you use in your WWII skirmish games?
Mr Elmo	30 Jan 2019 10:29 a.m. PST
I play in God's one true scale: 28mm
Big Red	30 Jan 2019 10:31 a.m. PST
I don't know if God has anything to do with it but if he did he would pick 28mm.
Fred Cartwright	30 Jan 2019 10:32 a.m. PST

15mm. Though if I hadn't gotten into Flames of War (and therefore had a lot of 15mm models and terrain already), 20mm would be my choice.
Dagwood	30 Jan 2019 2:14 p.m. PST
1/72nd.
BrockLanders	30 Jan 2019 2:29 p.m. PST
We play 28mm for the eye candy factor but sometimes I wonder if we would have been better off going the 20mm route for space reasons.
ColCampbell	30 Jan 2019 2:35 p.m. PST

My WW2 Skirmish stuff is 20mm. For bigger battles I generally use 15mm or 6mm.
Vigilant	31 Jan 2019 2:35 a.m. PST
All skirmish games, regardless of period, are 28mm. For bigger battles 10mm or 6mm.
Green Tiger	31 Jan 2019 5:14 a.m. PST
Skirmish gaming? 54mm of course – have trotted out 1/6th a couple of times too…
Shaun Travers	31 Jan 2019 5:53 a.m. PST
20mm only, although I have some 54mm I was given that I want to try out.
Karellian Knight	31 Jan 2019 6:48 a.m. PST

15mm and 28mm Fanatik	31 Jan 2019 9:15 a.m. PST
as well as Lock n Load Tactical boardgames. Interesting you should mention LnL boardgames. They qualify as "skirmish" and have a smaller footprint even with X-Maps. I have many LnL modules, and also other games like Heroes of Normandie, Panzer and Old School Tactical.
Timmo uk	31 Jan 2019 10:45 a.m. PST
I have some AB 20mm. If AB had made them 15 or 28mm instead then I would have chosen those sizes. I just like them more than anything else.
