The idea involves using the 1,000 or so hard plastic 12mm-ish generic 18th century figures I have from seeral copies of the board game of Risk.<br /><br />It seems a shame to waste them although the idea is well down the batting order.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-18120989473157037322012-01-29T13:56:23.631+00:002012-01-29T13:56:23.631+00:00DC

I suspect Irregular would be as well and have not seen Magister Militum to be able to comment. I know that Old Glory have a 10mm range but they only set in packs which would not really be suitable.<br /><br />It is not major priority in the short term but I would like to find some if I can.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-39143768026942428252012-01-29T08:05:05.180+00:002012-01-29T08:05:05.180+00:00David,
Histofigs (formerly Scruby) "N" ...David,<br /><br />Histofigs (formerly Scruby) "N" gauge figures are compatible with 12mm, at least the 12mm figures I've seen , but I don't know who made them; whether they would work with what you have in mind is another question, of course.<br /><br />On an unrelated note, do a search on YouTube for "First Balkan War". There are 4 parts, made up almost entirely of contemporary film clips and pictures. Of particular interest to you may be the plentiful clips involving the Balkan navies(in action, no less!) The episodes are (unfortunately for me) entirely in Greek, but they are still well worth seeing.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-46947275432388171132012-01-29T01:42:28.724+00:002012-01-29T01:42:28.724+00:00And I suppose that the various 10mm figures out th...And I suppose that the various 10mm figures out there are too small, eh?<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-75980946196989239632012-01-28T20:36:50.977+00:002012-01-28T20:36:50.977+00:00Hi Don,

I am planning a visit to the shop in a couple of weeks so will take a look then. I also thought about Mikes Models as another potential source.<br /><br />I only need command figures and perhaps some gunners.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-2902417863985679792012-01-28T20:11:23.584+00:002012-01-28T20:11:23.584+00:00If you have access to Naismith Designs range of 15...If you have access to Naismith Designs range of 15mm and they make some 18th century figures they may be small enough.
