Does anyone actually play SP with 10mm figures? |

No, I don't but it would be easy enough to replace a single 28mm figure with a small group of 10mm figures based together and then grouped into a larger unit. |

I have done what Jim suggests with 15mm models |

Does it matter? If this is what you want to do go for it.
There are gamers who do skirmish games in 6mm. I do 6mm for FIW and Wild West. 10mm should work no problem for SP. |

Has anyone actually done something along this line? I have a few buck shee 10mm figures lying about. Do I go for round bases or square bases? Do I place 2 or 3 (or more) figures per base? Do I use inches as per the rules or do I use cm as per other suggestions? All helpful suggestions are welcome. |

Not sure this helps…. For The Men Who Would Be Kings I use 6mm troops on 40mm wide rectangular bases. Each base counts as two "models" so we mark a base with a hit. Take a second, remove the stand. Units are generally 12 "models" so 6 stands each. It looks great and is a way to use existing troops with more skirmishy rules. I never convert to CM but I always have a large table to play on…. |
