Welcome Chris
Sod the Xbox, don't take advice from FSN about late war tanks!

What sort of level WW2 are you doing? - Company, battalion?

I think we are going to start off with Company level but I have a horrible feeling we are not going to be able to stop at one small force each, so we may end up doing big battles in the end.

Hi Chris, and welcome.

What you're feeling is the first pangs of addiction. You may start off with a company, but before you realise what you're doing you'll be the proud possessor of 4th Panzerarmee. Just go with it.

Which is a particular problem if you meant to collect the Ox and Bucks Light Infantry!

10mm is great for combined arms - you can see the infantry (unlike 6mm), but there is room for vehicles (unlike larger scales).

Sunjester and I play IABSM, infantry 3 to a 30mm base, 2 bases = 1 section.  Thats 60-70 figures to a company, about a tenner!  Throw in a few vehicles, and you can do both sides for under £60

Sj also has individually based infantry for CoC.  Given its a platoon game, 1 side costs about £6

I must admit the more I work with 10mm models the more I like item. My friends and I are doing BKC 2 and you can get together a decent sized force  for not  a lot of money. I'm also finding them much quicker and more forgiving to paint than larger scale minis, which ultimately means I can fit more painting in around work . So is looks like the addiction is well on its way to dominating the cash flow

The Dark Lord claims another soul

Beware the False One! Avaunt the Deceiver! Spurn the Trickster! He who tempts the weak minded with scales too small and scales too large! He whose works are seen everywhere, whose tentacles seek every young heart and lure them with false promises and overpriced, overlarge tat. Beware the False One! Shun his works! Save yourself by clinging to the recently slimmed banner of the Dark Lord, protect yourselves by offering your goods to the Dark Lord, in return for his munificence in the form of the True Scale!

Hail the Dark Lord! A plague on those who do not see the true scale!

Brown nose

Nurse, nurse,

He's out of bed again.

Any more of that and it's the padded restraints again.
