15mm, by quite a distance, especially with regard to tournaments.

Which leads onto another question

why ?

is it because people already have(had) them based for DBA or the like - or that they are much cheaper - or ?

15mm troops are easier to transport to conventions and tournaments. I use my 15mm armies on the road and play with my 1960's era HO scale Air-Fix and Hong Kong plastic figures at home.

Well, we old farts in my area (next door to St.Louis, Mo) have LARGE collections of historical 25-28mm minies. We may be forced to pony up $$$$ for 15mm armies.....Not too likely really. :wink: We are a small group. The oldest member is the newest member....5-6 years of gaming.

Most of the longtimers who are now oldtimers have LARGE collections of 25-28mm minies. I don't think our wives would be too thrilled with our doing a major scale change. :shock:

If your painting your own miniatures you'll have a 15mm army complete & painted long before a 28mm army.

Well, most game around Central Ohio are 15mm.

I have seen some 25mm games and they look really nice. They have inspired me to put together a 25mm Roman army.

No1 I can stop anytime :oops:
