[Bunny]

Hi Guys,

having looked at many of the picture on the InterWeb would it be ok to use ACW, kepi wearing figures as the standard Danish troops?

Thanks

Hi Bunny.

Not my period (as I seem to say so often), but would the 1848 Danish be closer?

In answer to your question - "it depends upon what you're willing to accept". Having done a cursory sweep of the web, I think the ACW is pretty close.

Thanks, I think they would fit ok

Is this a money saving exercise or are you unaware of the Pendraken 1864 Danish range?

Yes I know they do the range but I have a heap of 10mm ACW in kepi that I need to use as my group is doing ACW in 15mm

One can only wonder why when there are at least four excellent 10mm ranges available and some superb 10mm and 6mm ACW terrain and buildings available. Perhaps, like me, they started the core of their collections in the 80s. I'd continue to pursue the 10mm route as the resulting battlefields look far more convincing in 10mm even with 6mm buildings - and as Carlos Briz has shown, you can just about get away with using the Peter Pig ships as well for some combined operations.

I've gone down the 10mm route for ACW even though the 'accepted' scale at the club is 15mm (except for the bunch of them who are doing it in 28mm!).

I think it looks better, besides it did not seem worth putting 15mm armies together as, between half a dozen or so members,  the club could almost field Pickett's Charge in 1:1 scale.
