Never happen. 15mm is the spawn of Satan  :d

It is of course rube to interrupt a man making a mistake. 28mm is the mistake, after all it's the main scale for the evil empire.

I went with 15mm

You can see them here

This way it's a 1:1 ground to figure scale - same reason I use 6mm for IABSM

Though I do think 10mm are perfect for PBI he adds quickly ;)

Actually I'm thinking of doing Korea in 10mm - just need a couple of centurions. . .  8)

That's a good idea. Perhaps someone could suggest it to Pendraken?   :-w

Nah- only Zippee wants them.  Not worth doing for just one customer.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Nicely painted figures, Zippee. And the movement trays are excellent.  8)

Thanks but actually the movement trays whilst looking good don't work very well in practice - too big for the sort of heavy terrain found in Normandy, especially at 1:1 scale which is what you get in 15mm with Chain. They are very useful for storage and transport though  8)

That's the way the Pendraken sloop is steered then is it?

Seems like  :D

You do realize mine will arrive next day delivery whilst yours will moulder away on the 'lost and we don't care' shelf at some central mail depot in Slough for years...   :d

Have you tried the 'random' movement trays from warbases rather than the sqaure ones?

A friend of mine uses two 'random' bases with either five or six figures per base for a 10 man or 12 man unit. Warbases are brill like that - they will tailor to order.

I like this idea. Maybe I should order some as well to increase the likelihood of this happening?

Now what are the chances of getting an AMX-13 and AMX-VCI into production?
