Miniatures

[Guest]

Does anyone play with miniatures…
I’m Just looking at them and got interested… do you have any Ideas or advice especially interested in WW2 but would except anything (excluding warhammer)

Below is an EXCELLENT reference table for the different scales and sizes of miniatures … it includes both ratios (i.e. 1/300 or 1:300) and heights (i.e. 5.4mm).

http://www.theminiaturespage.com/ref/scales.html

A&A Scales (size listed first is best):

Ships - 1/3000 (.54mm) or 1/2400 (.67mm)

Armour - 1/300 (5.4mm) or 1/285 (5.6mm)

Aircraft - 1/432 (3.7mm) or 1/300 (5.4mm)

Infantry - 1/76 (21.2mm) or 1/72 (22.4mm)

Here are a couple of GREAT links that I’ve found:

I really like Miniatures too… but the most I see is eitehr Warhammer, Lord of the Rings, or any of the WizKids stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever seen WWII Miniatures before.

I think its hard to find online mini rules for free.
There are a few. Mostly for Vietnam platoon level.
Just search “Where’s Charlie”
