I stumbled on Scotia's 10 High ACW figures in the mid-80s.  It's been 10mm ever since.

It was Warmaster

I'd bought Chariot  for ACW (in the 90s) because cheaper than 15mm (The Guardroom in Dunstable - remember that?)*
Very sparsely based (again, money)
Then Skytrex 1:200 for Rapid fire.
Tried demo of Warmaster in MK GW. Immediately hooked. Found 10mm on 40x20 bases perfect size.
Resurrected the WW2 stuff with Pendraken.
Then the ACW
And then Leon cast some sort of spell. (actually Stepson wanted a Roman Army for WM. I phoned, and was offered 'republican, early imperial etc' I said 'Hollywood' and the person at the other end- I assume Leon**, said "I know what you mean" and sent perfect WM army).

*My first army was from Guardroom - 1:300 Modern Dutch, 1989 I think.
** Because not all of us cower in terror and feel the need to call him "The Dark Lord"
I have neither the time or the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Saw an 18th century game at Carronade, just looked too damn cute not to get involved with them.  Despite yet another scale!

I must admit that C18th looks really good in 10mm. It was one of those situations where finding a set of rules that appealed spurred me to buy my first SYW army (and to sell off my small 15mm collection).

Bought 2 FPW army packs at Salute in the 90's as they satisfied my mass effect/paint job compulsion  :D
