The key that I’ve seen is the dam rifles like to peel from use and I do use my pieces a lot. So main reason why I asked if there was a better sticking primer.
With some specific parts of pieces, I think moderate chipping and flaking of paint is going to be inevitable, especially with the rifle ends of the infantry pieces. Those end pieces (the rifle barrels) flex and bend around when being handled. Therefore, you need to find a flexible primer and paint to work with that flexing. Latex paint is one type that comes to mind. This type of paint is used heavily by scale RC airplane guys (me included). As a scale RC airplane is flying in the air, the wings and control surfaces get flexed. Furthermore, fluctuations in temperature and humidity make the wooden structure of the RC plane expand and contract. They need a paint that works with all this flexing and contracting so that the paint doesn’t flake off and chip away. Latex paint.
I have not tried it on scale miniature game pieces, so I cannot say with certainty if it works just as well in this arena. All you can do is try it and see.
