I saw all those red riders and thought for a second that you had joined me in the world of 1/72 plastic!

Hi Andrew,

I have a friend who has a 1/72nd RCW army; they look very nice, and I can see the appeal.

I don't have any plastics, yet, because my passion is 28mm lead ancients (Saleh, Copplestone and recently Adam from Aventine). I'm sure I will, one day... perhaps I'll try a new period and a new scale next year.

Ok ... a couple of newbie questions about historicals. A) What is a good system to break into with say 25 to 28 MM romans? Second question is how do I find some local historicals players? I'm out in Utah and have scoured the internet looking and really haven't found a store which caters to historical players ... are there any really popular historicals boards out there? Anyone from Utah or know some historicals players in Utah??

Mi LoE,

Many choose the Wargames Factory plastics, but I personally don't like the style.

In the US, I gather Crusader minis are made by Old Glory and they do a very good price deal. Crusader are generally rather nice minis, too... they do a nice Republican roman range.

Not sure what BRB will recommend as seems he plays mostly a miniature verison of Command and Colors system. I would recommend WAB. Unfortunately in the US to play consistent ancients you either have to have a strong local group or do a bit of traveling to conventions. I know several gamers in Utah. If your familar with Adepticon we have been holding some events that have been growing over the years..

Hi Hank! C&C would be one option. It is a boardgame, which means that you can play it out of the box, with the blocks provided; you could train your own group. It is, however, likely to be less common than WAB (although it seems to be growing). Impetus would be a third option.

What you need to do is find some people playing ancients, and use their rules!

Hi, I use a mix of the 4mm and 6mm two-colour Summer/autumn tufts.

It's hard to find them in stock!
