I am thinking of starting out with blucher rules but before I start out, I would like to ask some advice… Would this game be playable in 1/72? I have 2 armies in 1/72, would it be worth going to 6mm? Regards,

Yes you can keep using your figs, figure and base size doesn't matter as long as all are consistent. It will just require you to use a bigger stand and table. I use 15mm for Bluecher on both brigade stands and battalion stands depending on how big the battle is. You don't count figures so you can have 6-24 or more figs per stand as you wish.

IIRC, with Blucher the size and scale of the minis don't matter as long as all bases are consistant with all armies. You can put as many minis as you want on a base. So you get to control how you want your game to look. You can even play without figures and just use the Blucher cards.

Thx for the answers! I only have a table of 180cmx100cm… Would this be enough?

All depends on what base size you decide to use. If you use something like 2"x 2" you should have plenty of room. If you prefer 3 x 3" if might be a tight fit. Fun set of rules. Good luck.
