What an attractive model/toy" so I looked them up on the web and soon found myself thinking "I'd better get out of here quick!!" <br /><br />My 3rd thought is that Marx used to do this with underscale vehicles, just not as drastically usually, more like 1/48th with 1/32 figures but same idea and so does Memoir, Axis & Allies etc. As long as they are "game pieces" (sic) for games and not a diorama it works well enough. <br /><br />I find there is a lot of imagination needed to fully enjoy this sort of game anyway but in my case my imagination can handle it better than say a "skirmish" game where 1 figure is 1 figure and all the terrain and figures are to scale but the other end of a house is long rifle range!Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
