Posted on 13 July 2010 at 10:07:06 GMT Hi guys, so i was thinking about building a new force for the game, but was wondering, what is the most common scale to play BKC with? i have been looking at the Pendraken site for a while and worked out that i could build a pretty good sized force cheaply, but if not many people play in 10mm then there is no point. Is 10mm or 15,, or any other scale more popular with you guys out there? - Sachiel |

Posted on 13 July 2010 at 10:11:07 GMT Either 6mm or 10mm I think. |

Posted on 13 July 2010 at 10:11:42 GMT Hi Sachiel, I'm new to the game and just building my first armies now, but my impression is that 10mm is the most common/popular scale, although 6mm isn't far behind. Peace, Fletch |

Posted on 13 July 2010 at 11:35:07 GMT If you mean 'common' as in most popular then its probably 10mm If you mean 'common' as in cheap and nasty then its probably 10mm sits back and waits for hail of abuse... Sorry chaps - couldn't resist a laugh at the '10mm brigades' expense - I dont mean it really 6mm ROCKS  |

Posted on 13 July 2010 at 11:46:42 GMT For infantry centred games 15mm is fine. For more AFVs i'd go to 10mm, for loads of AFVs etc I'd go to 6 or even 3mm! But I'm a cheapskate! |

Posted on 13 July 2010 at 12:08:28 GMT It would be interesting to have a poll of players about the 'periods' (BKC/CWC/FWC)and the scales they play in. |

Posted on 13 July 2010 at 13:00:46 GMT There are about 16 of us in North Leeds/Harrogate that use 15mm. |

Posted on 13 July 2010 at 13:30:59 GMT A lot depends upon who you will be playing with and what scale they may already have. If it is mainly solo gaming, I'd go 10mm. |

Posted on 13 July 2010 at 14:26:15 GMT Would mainly be solo gaming, but i would like the ability to play against anyone who i could meet up with in the foreseeable future, at gaming clubs and such around Yorkshire... It seems to be that 10mm is the most popular... Now, where did i put that pendraken linky? - Sachiel |

Posted on 14 July 2010 at 16:47:40 GMT Left the 15mm range in favour of the 10mm range. Reasons: Price and Place. WWII looks better in 10mm than in 15mm on a wargames table. Dueling tanks in 15mm on a wargames table often look like a gun fight in a phone box...but this is my tupence worth only... |

Posted on 14 July 2010 at 17:27:11 GMT 10mm for BKC. 15mm if infantry heavy works well though. |

Posted on 14 July 2010 at 21:52:10 GMT 6mm divided by 2 all the way nach berlin Actually, both 6mm (BKC and CWC) and 3mm (CWC). |

Posted on 14 July 2010 at 22:10:19 GMT I think alot depends on the theatre...15mm in the Pacific or another infantry heavy campaign works great but Kursk in 15mm would be mighty expensive & need a whopping gert table too! |

Posted on 15 July 2010 at 10:55:55 GMT PL71 - Pistols at dawn? A joust? How about a Breakthrough scenarao, EF, 1943?  (played in both scales, one after the other) |

Posted on 15 July 2010 at 11:38:26 GMT It seemed such an easy question! Who would have thought we could be like this? 6mm faction! 15, 20 and up are skirmish sizes. Being tempted by the 3mm stuff.  |

Posted on 15 July 2010 at 12:07:26 GMT May I suggest 8mm scale as a compromise?   |
