If money was no object, what wargaming fantasy would you fulfill?  Would you do Waterloo in 1:1?  Or a mass of Hoplites for Marathon?  Or even buy one of every code in the Pendraken catalogue, just for the hell of it?!

If money was no object why not just buy Pendraken Miniatures lock stock and barrel?

Hire the men (women, boys...) and refight the actual batles on 1:1 scale with real pikes and muskets. Mikata ga Hara, Chaldiran, Vienna, Pavia, Marston Moor, Otoombo....

Star Wars figures.  10mm for massed battles / 28mm for skirmishing.

I'm guessing you'd need bottomless pockets to buy the licensing rights...

I would keep Armstrong Miniatures going scuplting the masters for the 2000+ unmade 6mm AFV/guns that we need  :D
And get the complete war of 1812 range of figures needed made in 15mm. And all the Ottoman Turk 15mm Napoleonic figures that are missing!

Then buy a bigger house to put all the books in that I'd buy......

Well- wargames room obviously.

Because I'd be playing rules at 28mm sace, with 10mm figures

EG

Black Powder, instead of cm , I'd use inches.  The rules state 2 x 2 28mm on 40 mm, 3 x 2 on 45 mm Frontage.  Use 10mm instead
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Which would still be cheaper than doing it in 28mm  ;D

Can I just buy an additional 10 hours a day or so? Not like I don't have a pile of lead already ;)
