Back to look at Baccus again

Too much time to think about thanks to COVID and looking for other input.

BLUF: moving from a 5 bedroom house with large basement to two bedroom apaprtment means I have too many miniatures for storage space.  My initial plan was to move to 3mm/6mm/15mm figures for aerial, mass battle, and skirmish...

Sadly I am beginning beginning to think "Dumpster" time...  And I have done that before so that is not an idle case of histrionics.

Yes, after much winnowing of stuff (over two thousand miniatures given away over several years and) recent fire sale pricing at a local shop for several months here is where I am:

 

War games Miniatures  (as opposed to FRPG Miniatures which is another separate issue) on hand in order of interest;

25/28mm


King Phillip’s War  using “MOTW” (Matchlocks on the Warpath) rules and no 6mm appropriate figures to replace them...


WW2 PTO platoon sized “Bolt Action” (for lack of better rules) no one locally open to other "scales" or rules except one person who is out of state for long periods for work.  No ETO (especially East Front) or MTO gaming plans.  PTO is where my interests lie exclusively.


    Nationalist Chinese for Shanghai scenarios  no 6mm appropriate figures to replace them...
    IJA paratroops  no 6mm appropriate figures to replace them...
    US Army PTO - No, USMC is not what I want but thanks.
    Dutch Colonial  no 6mm appropriate figures to replace them...

Peter said he is not planning on some of these.  Sad face emoji.


Fantasy “Chainmail or Warlord”  sized large skirmish or small Battles (I have two sizes of Iron Wind/Ral Partha figures for Mountain and Hill Dwarf/Gnome) and using Soldado de Cuera for gunpowder technology humans.  (collected from 1974 thru 2019)

15/18mm
Fantasy/Historical armies (includes Tercios) Legacy figures from the last few years on hold currently because most players locally insist on larger sizes.


     Dwarf
     Elf
     Goblin
     Human - using Spanish Renaissance Tercios

6mm
Fantasy Mass Battle armies (Legacy) exclusively Baccus using Chainmail rules

3mm
Aircraft of WW1 and WW2 which I really find the sweet spot for aerial games IMNSHO. 

It seems likely that I am at a dead end in some ways.  ?Your thoughts?

 

Gracias, 

Glenn

Hi,

Would late WW1 Germans not work for Nationalist Chinese?

1/300 aircraft vs 1/600 aircraft would depend for me entirely on what kind of stuf you aimed to do.

Maybe since the nationalist Chinese best troops at the battles around Shanghai are the German trained ones.

Thanks.
