Although I am a dyed-in-the-wool 25mm gamer, if I did another scale it would be 10mm too. 15mm seems a nightmare to me -- too much detail to ignore when painting, too small to see it when on the table. Are you using OG?<br /><br />I suppose that you will use 10mm for WWII too? Would make sense. Really looking forward to seeing how all this unfolds.<br /><br />Chris, it looks like the 25mm grand manner mantle shifts to guys like you and the Garage gamers. We play massive battles in 25mm with Shako. Small units but far more of them than WHC scenarios. Looks great, but not the big battalions which have a character all their own.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-51853428198646284992010-09-27T01:23:46.339+01:002010-09-27T01:23:46.339+01:00Chris - they're great figures, a tremendous am...Chris - they're great figures, a tremendous amount of movement and animation in the figures. I like the czapka-less ones too, particularly the trumpeter. Look forward to seeing the Archduke's Uhlanen in action on the table soon!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-66698255753684446982010-09-26T22:21:18.555+01:002010-09-26T22:21:18.555+01:00I cxan answer that one myself.

Its taken so long because I am building the new "Wargames Centre" from scratch which will have a slightly bigger playing area then the WHC. <br />I will be going to 10mm and already 32,000 figures are on order.<br /><br />If you have any questions, surprises or whatever, you can follow all these developments on my blog at http://www.gerryjelliottsituation.blogspot.com/<br />I'm sure Chris won't mind the plug.<br /><br />Lastly, the Uhlans are the 3rd Uhlans, Erzherhog Karl, raised 1809. Indeed the trumpeter did have a white tunic.<br />The 2nd Uhlans, Schwarezenberg, had a green Czapska and were raised in 1798.Ged Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540320118728627406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-50827724269083968282010-09-26T19:32:59.727+01:002010-09-26T19:32:59.727+01:00Nice stuff.

I went once back in the late 1980s and loved the experience. Indeed, although I long ago left ITGM the fundamental basis for all my gaming whether terrain, painting style and ambition to do games in a spectacular fashion derived from Peter Gilder and the pictures of the WHC collection. When Gilder died I felt a piece of my wargaming inspiration had died too but the WHC kept that spirit alive. Now with the WHC going I truly think that an era is ending. Don't misunderstand me, there are lots of incredible things going on in the hobby and others, like you Chris, are providing tons of inspiration, but its origins for me faded just a little more.<br /><br />Chris, any news from Gerry about the WWII rules? Or has that project been shelved?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-57950061238589915822010-09-26T16:03:03.320+01:002010-09-26T16:03:03.320+01:00Very nice Chris, it certainly puts my recent 12 fi...Very nice Chris, it certainly puts my recent 12 figure 2nd Uhlan unit to shame.<br /><br />Is the saddle cloth motif something you thought up or does it have historical basis. Also I like the white coated trumpeter. <br /><br />Great stuff.<br /><br />Johnjohn de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-54095503016627368712010-09-26T13:55:14.987+01:002010-09-26T13:55:14.987+01:00These are superb even in there almost complete sta...These are superb even in there almost complete stage!!<br /><br />I thought I had it tough with 30+ Russian cavalry regiments.<br /><br />Look forward to seeing them all finished off, very inspiring.<br />Cheers<br />paulPaulalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482911273863430204noreply@blogger.com
