Even then there were never enough figures and it still looked like a fight outside a pub. After being inspired by the rather awesome 6mm ECW on Grymauch’s wargame blog I decided to get a 6mm Forlorn Hope army. Each base is 3cm x 3cm and holds 12 infantry or 3 cavalry. The photo shows both armies for the battle of Wigan Lane (no pie left behind).
This photo shows most of a large regiment advancing towards the enemy.

Pretty spectacular I would say. A little goes a long way |

This is a great way to use 6mm - just swap out a single 28mm figure with a base full of 6mms covering the same area. The end result gives you some spectacular units and armies.
I have plans. I am dangerous when I have plans... |
