TooFatLardies Advent Panto, Day 9

Is an ideal weekends gaming one that blends large and small. Two tables one 6 mm that looks at company and above and the other 28mm where you battle the close quarter actions from the main table

Excellent stuff. I game at 6mm and 28mm but, as you mentioned, I too would love to try a larger scale such as 1:32 - the vast number of great armour kits available would be one advantage but as you also mentioned: terrain storage is the greatest put-off. Having to make a set of terrain at that size…and store it…and one set is never enough, now is it?😅

After several decades playing wargames, I have settled to a compromise where games with minis are restricted to skirmish encounters (40-80 models) while large battles or operations are played with board wargames.

I do like my old 1/1200 sailing ships. They are a good compromise between fitting on the table with room to maneuver and still seeing some identifiable details on the models. I did consider the scope of desired game before committing to the first purchase - I wanted to do 1-on-1 and 4-on-4 actions as well as larger fleet battles with the same collection. I’ve seen a few attempts to do Trafalgar in 1/700 and they obviously get a bit crowded on the table. Yet I remember some fans of big fleet games scoffing at 1/1200 as too large for anything but small actions, preferring only 1/2000 for full sized fleets. As long as the rules used reflect choices at the correct level of command, I’ll be happy.
