Hi,Was just given a bunch of 10-12mm WW2 figures and tanks.I've played MP with microarmor and just wondered how it plays and how it looks on the table.Joe

Joe,If your question is how does the game play, which I am not sure it is since you indicate you have payed MP with microarmor, then the sample turn is a very good indicator of how the game works. If you want to know how it plays with 10-12mm, the answer is great! Personally, if I was entering into gaming right now, I would be collecting this scale, as it seems to have the right blend of detail without being over-sized. Also, there are inexpensive plastic and metal models from Asia that are affordable and perfectly acceptable wargaming figures. Go for it — MP works at this scale, and has templates adjusted for the larger bases and vehicles.Cheers,Gregory

I was wondering how it looked. Do I need a bigger table to play with the 12mm?I don't want it to look like wall to wall tanks or units.Joe

Our group uses 6mm exclusively, but I know some of the other fellows in ODGW use 10-12mm, and they should have some pics. Hopefully they can post some or give you some descriptions. I see no reason why it would be wall to wall, but I will let them go into more detail.Gregory

Our fellow ODGW designer, JD Perry, has played several convention games using GFI Minifigs 10/12mm and he has used 5x8 and 6x10 tables. They looked great. You just need to gauge the amount of figures in your games to the table size you want to use. I would say that if you want to run the same size games as you did in 6mm you may want a little more table room. I would guess that an increase in table size by one factor; i.e used a 5x8 for 6mm and bump it up to 6x10 for 10/12mm.
