All the other scales load fine, but I can't get past the "front page" of the 2mm Section of the web page – i.e. if I click on "Ancients" then nothing happens! Is it just me? And yes, 2mm, absolute madness, but I have a half idea for a portable wargame setup. But you're right – madness. |

Oh – the links from the "News" section work – so I can see the 2mm scenics, but that's all! |

Worked fine for me. Sorry to read they are temporarily shut down due to Covid. Hope they are all better soon. Dave |

Right click on the categories and "open link in new tab" is the only way that I can get in. |

All working as usual for me – using Windows 10 and Chrome. Oh! And no, 2mm not madness – great idea in its place – huge mass battles in reasonable space for example, or Kriegsspiel type games. |

Every once in awhile a category will not open for me. I just try again later and it generally works. |

I was in and out of the 2mm section several times yesterday without problems. The vision of 2mm Leipzig grows clearer with the passage of time. And a portable game in 2mm is by no means madness. You can have an army of stands big enough to be handled, and to tell sides and troop types apart, and still fit everything in a laptop carrier. |

@paul liddle – that worked for me, thanks! Also tried on a different machine and it worked fine. Both have same O/S and Chrome. And it's only the 2mm on one machine. Oh well, IT issues! |

Two things really appeal to me about 2mm – the terrain (proper cities!) and endless numbers of the big figures (100 elephants would look awesome!). I bought quite a lot of 2mm years (many many years) ago for a game idea that never reached fruition. The only things that got painted were the terrain items. Maybe it is time to try again. |

If you're pre-20th Century, 20th, white prime and use contrast paint for the primary color. You'll be amazed how fast you can crank them out. (For the World Wars, it's black prime and damp/dry brush, unless you're in the desert.) |

What are you thinking of doing this time in 2mm? |

My first thought was an ACW raid game – with at least one train! . Now I'm thinking of those ancients again as well |
