Army storage (Why I love 10mm)

Post by Karim » Thu Mar 17, 2011 9:09 am

Just bought myself a present today to protect the investment in little army men.

Heaps of space for a whole battle. The little draws can hold around 18 battalions of 30 infantry. So the large draws about 54 battalions. Enough for maybe a couple of divisions, possible a whole corps.

The magnets work really well at keeping the little guys upright.

Most of my terrain and rules fit in as a bonus.

No way my 28mm can do the same, they are currently in two glass display cases with shelves of terrain around.

10mm is the best scale. I'm seriously considering doing R2E in 10mm. The current batch of hard plastic 28mm stuff is fantastic, but cannot compare to 10mm on the table.

Go for it, you get the massed feel without needing a massive room. Fast, cheap and visually impressive. You can keep your 28mm as well as this takes up so little room.
