Scale

FFT3 is designed for 1/285, 1/300 or 6mm scales (often called “micro” scales), but you can play it with any scale of miniatures.
– A Fistful of TOWs 3 p.13

The standard scale of FFT3 is one inch equals 100 meters…
One vehicle represents four to six vehicles (occasionally three), and a stand of infantry represents a platoon…
One turn represents about 12 minutes…
– A Fistful of TOWs 3 p.29

Basing

Micro scale infantry should be mounted on ¾˝ round or square bases. Pennies make great bases for infantry… Vehicles can be based if you wish.
