The bits in the picture are 1/72. There is some more - worth waiting for. I'll put up some pictures tomorrow. But i'm afarid its unpainted as I have little time.

Yeah I do realise that . The one key advantage is that the MGP ones are more robust than the rest.

That, and they come complete with the Stat/Special Rules Card and the Basic Game Rules! :wink:

I think Matchbox cars are 1/87. I'm not 100% certain, though.

You are quite correct. Rules and cards. Cards and rules. Good stuff. 8)

I have a number of 1/72 Leopard IIs from Dragon that are just slightly smaller than my 1/65 Mongoose tanks (Type 99 and M1A2s) and my Corgi 1/64 M1A2s. The 1/72 tanks would not be out of place on a game boards... I don't think the size difference would be noticable unless one bothered to compare.

You are correct. Too small for anything but 15mm.

1/87 would be more like 20mm...Unless we are again talking about seriously oversized 15mm's(33% bigger than should be...).

I hate scale creep.

 

[Mr Evil]

if 1:87 was in your mind 15mm figs can i sugest you stop playing LOTR and give up the army peoples shire liberation army.

damn them hobbits

1:65 scale is 28mm

match box small cars vary in scale from 1:58 to 1:69 scale but on the whole are perfect for evo

 

[byram]

lol, i hate being gone for four days, i miss this stuff

 

[Mr Evil]

can i add 15mm is generaly regarded as 1/100 scale as well

damn the evil forces of your shire, using 15mm fig

15mm is 1/100 - 1/114 (Standard is 1/100)

20 mm is 1/76-1/82 (pref 1/76)

28mm is 1/72 - 1/48 (pef 1/65 (mgp scale)but norm is 1/50 due to scale creep in some ranges of figs


hope that helps some of the muddy waters.
