Now that's a phalanx and no mistake! When you see it like that it makes you wonder how the hell they moved the bl**dy thing and kept any kind of cohesion. A little overkill but you gotta love 6mm for impressive representation.

Reminds of a group a few years ago that did the rounds putting on a one to one 6mm ECW game. The table was about 25' long! Each regiment was at least 2' wide. Certainly brought the mechanics of movement and general logistics to the fore.

NO !....Not wheels.
Why not one of those 'ice hockey' tables that were about decades ago...The ones where you smacked the 'puck' around on a cushion of air ?
A whole new concept in table top gaming..... where you push a group of your own figures into your opponent's to 'bounce' them from the playing area
I'm copyrighting that now.....It's a winner !....I'm surprised fsn hasn't come up with that one. :D

Saw in a recent Wargames Illustrated that some keen guy has done the forces for Waterloo in 6mm at a figure ratio of ...

1:1  :o :o :o

Apparently started in 1986 and will finish later this year

Chap down our club has done an ECW infantry regiment in 1:1 - 800 6mm figures. He uses it to explain to Joe Public why wargames units are relatively small.

In my schooldays a friend and I went to the other extreme and did WWII at a scale of 1 figure = total axis forces, 1 figure = total allied forces. I forget who won, but it was about as interesting as most modern games are anyway.

I suspect Pharsalus would be as boring on the same basis.

It would. The thing is, there are ways to make Pharsalus interesting.

There are ways to make blitzkrieg interesting too.
