1 being lowest, 10 highest.

I'm a solid 7.

JimSelzer01 Nov 2021 11:45 p.m. PST

01 I would say zero if I could

Wargamer Blue02 Nov 2021 3:13 a.m. PST

I'm an 8. Especially the naval battles.

mad monkey 102 Nov 2021 6:15 a.m. PST

6-7ish.

The Last Conformist02 Nov 2021 6:19 a.m. PST

Very low. If I were doing anything with that war minis-wise it¨d be naval.

Oddball02 Nov 2021 6:23 a.m. PST

I have 8 to 10 ships from the Old Glory "Age of Ironclads" range pre-Dreadnaughts for Russo-Japanese War in 1/600 scale.

Great ships, but don't have large interest in the land war.

Don't know a great deal about it, land wise, for battles.

From what I understand it was a preview of W.W. I with the Japanese infantry charging dug in Russians who had a few Maxim guns. I'm sure there was fighting along the supply railroad lines towards Port Arthur, but just don't know any details.

If someone fields well-painted minis on the tabletop, I'm willing to play the game. One of our local group has done this in the past with a naval scenario and his ships.

8 on land battles (which is the topic of your question).

10 on naval battles (as I play them regularly).

The Russo Japanese War is a subject near and dear to me. I'd say 10 to 10mm or 15mm land battles (since they could be quite large in size).

some vague interest, but not (zero interest really) in 28mm.

rmaker02 Nov 2021 8:27 a.m. PST

1, because I would do it in 15mm.

Travellera02 Nov 2021 8:31 a.m. PST

10! I am especially interested in more Japanese to complement the Tsuba range

Lascaris02 Nov 2021 12:44 p.m. PST

Twenty years ago probably an 8, today I can't see myself starting a new, large project, so a 1.

Personal logo Dan Cyr Supporting Member of TMP02 Nov 2021 3:44 p.m. PST

Hard to discern a chance of the Russian having a chance on land. Vague chance at sea, so I play those games.

Leadjunky02 Nov 2021 6:14 p.m. PST

One. Might play a game at a con if the rules were interesting. I would think 10 or 15mm would be a little bit more popular, but it is an obscure war as far as war gaming goes. Now using a few 28mm figures for BoB or Boxer Rebellion would be an eight.

Kevin C02 Nov 2021 7:15 p.m. PST

I would be a 10. This is a very interesting conflict to game and I would enjoy painting figures for this war.

Uesugi Kenshin Supporting Member of TMP02 Nov 2021 7:29 p.m. PST

I think of this conflict like the Balkan Wars of 1912-13. If and when someone makes a good line of 15mm minis for it then I'll consider going all in.

Escapee Supporting Member of TMP02 Nov 2021 8:12 p.m. PST

Not in that scale, so a 1. Like some others, 8 for the naval battles, a fascinating period. But not what you asked.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP03 Nov 2021 9:36 a.m. PST

5 for me

Chuckaroobob03 Nov 2021 9:24 p.m. PST

8 for naval, got a pile of the OG 1/600 ships, use "You may fire when ready".
Land, maybe a 4, in 25/28mm

As Lascaris said 20 years ago an 8. 30 years ago a 10. Now -1.
