Played a CWC game set in the 1973 Yom Kippur War featuring a meeting engagement / encounter battle between an Israeli and Egyptian force and starring a bunch of Roskopf / Eko models you might not have seen for ages, or quite possibly have never seen at all...

Also featuring one of the worst command blunder rolls in the history of CWC!

Feel free to stop by and have a look:

Very good. What scale are the minis?

The Roskopf and Eko minis are about 1/100. Next to a Command Decision or Flames of War M113 they're almost identical.

The modern line works well with the current 15mm vehicles out there (Command Decision, FoW, etc). I can't speak for the WWII vehicles.

All of my current NATO forces are Roskopf save for my modern Americans.

I'm trying to get my hands on a Roskopf Panther or Tiger for comparison.

I paid 2.00 US per model for them so it was a deal. I just need to detail them and add some kit and they'll be good to go.
