challenged me to say how many figures I own. I can't do that but I thought i'd share my 15mm and 28mm Napoleonic madness. So strap yourself in....

Crikey Dom, I had no idea you had that many or I would have kept quiet. :) Great collection. My total of Napoleonic is 1974, so well below yours. Keep counting matey. LOL

Excellent collection, especially the 25mm (a scale I do not use except for American Westerns). I do a census on 1st January each year, and have 10,491 painted Napoleonic 15/18mm, and 3,799 still to do - it will probably take the rest of my life to complete them.

I only do a full census every 3-4 years - it takes about a week. I usually just make a note as to which armies have had changes to them. There are 57 ancients armies as well. (current totals =51,521, painted=32,702, unpainted=18,819).
