1/65 is going to appear too small for 28mm figures (which I think are 1/64) especially if the 28mm is on a plastic slotta type stand.

I think I used 1.8m for a 6 foot tall person which is supposed to be from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head. 1800mm/65 = 27.7mm 1800mm/64=28.02mm. 1.8x39.36= 70.8480 inches or 5'10". Hmmm. A little shorter then I remember.

GZG vehicles appear to be 25mm, almost 20mm in scale, or at least the crewmen I have for the SLAMMER vehicles are. This would make them closer to 1/65 then 1/56, although I can crew the Combat Cars with GW's plastic CADIAN figures. The hover jeep is pretty small. I would think these vehicles would match the GZG figures.

Of course, I use 1/48 vehicles mostly, so 1/65 isn't going to do it. Luckily, I have several of the Chinese T-80U tanks almost in that scale and what isn't in 1/48 I can get in 1/56 which is a lot closer to 1/48 then 1/65. Close enough that if I pick the models right, it will be hard to tell. A good example is I bought 2 1/56 BMD-1 which is a very small Russian tracked vehicle, so looking small next to a 1/48 T80U won't be out of place. I have two 1/56 M2A4 WW2 USMC Stuarts and a 1/48 M5A1 in the mail – comparing them will be interesting.

The first of February's releases for Battlefield Evolution are now on our site as previews - the Chinese PLA's WZ-551 and the U.S.MC's Shadow RST-V.

PLA WZ-551

Next week, we are hoping to receive the first copies of the MEA Technicals and Fedayeen Squad, and the British Army Command Section and Warrior.

USMC Shadow RST-V

All these models come pre-painted as shown on the site, along with the core rules of Battlefield Evolution (the latter of which can be found in this month's Signs & Portents, available for free download from our site).
