are these aa scale?
A better qustion to ask is “Are AA pieces in scale to these?”
AAs pieces are not all the same scale. Micro Armor made all their stuff in 1:285. They also had modern military units as well. It just happens that AA’s tanks happen to be close to this scale.
I bought their German half tracks, and they looked about right with the AA pieces. Micro Armor also makes modern units as well. Because its pewter, though, you have to paint them. And they’re pricey. Really good detail, but you pay for it.
FMG’s units are certainly a bargain in comparison. I looked into buying their pieces to replace my AA pieces, but the tab would have been in the high hundreds. But if you want to swap out some of FMG’s pieces, for say a panzer III or IV, then I’d go this route.

GHQ also did ship in 1:2400 bigger than AA BBs, but smaller than AA minis. They did ships from WWI to modern. I have some of these as well. Well proportioned and highly detailed.
FMG is still a better deal, as 1 ship can be $10. And at this scale, the big ships are too big for the AA maps. DDs and sb will be fine, though.

Good point.I too plan to use FMGs minis instead of 1/300 British made types.These are cheaper then GHQ/PFC(C+C) but lack some of the detail.The 1/3000 scale ships don’t fit in well with AAtypes either,but they do minis of most ships from the 15th to the 21st
century.I recieved the new USN Freedom LCS last month along with some proposed WW2
