What was your original miniature wargaming scale? The scale that your miniature gaming started out in? |

For land games 25mm except 20mm for WW2, naval 1/1200. |

Set from 1970, in then 70's played astronauts vs moonmen. "Proper" minis … 5mm D&D 25mm in the later 70's. Or possibly 1:1 playing kill the godless Commies running around the woods with my friends, a bit earlier than that. Does that count? |
