Hello I'm Mark Mr MIN, Man of TIN. Based in S.W. Britain, I'm a lifelong collector of "tiny men" and old toy soldiers, whether tin, lead or childhood vintage 1960s and 1970s plastic figures. I randomly collect all scales and periods and "imagi-nations" as well as lead civilians, farm and zoo animals. I enjoy the paint possibilities of cheap poundstore plastic figures as much as the patina of vintage metal figures. Befuddled by the maths of complex boardgames and wargames, I prefer the small scale skirmish simplicity of very early Donald Featherstone rules. To relax, I usually play solo games, often using hex boards. Gaming takes second place to making or convert my own gaming figures from polymer clay (Fimo), home-cast metal figures of many scales or plastic paint conversions. I also collect and game with vintage Peter Laing 15mm metal figures, wishing like many others that I had bought more in the 1980s ... View all posts by 26soldiersoftin

WOW.
Will keep an eye on this, thanks!
In unrelated news, I ran another WWII skirmish at work today, this time with rules influenced by Close Wars, with simpler measuring.
Movement: One pencil length.
Firing: (Range/shots)
– Pistol: One pencil length/one shot.
– SMG: 1/3
– Rifle: 2/1
– MG: 3/3, but may not move and fire.
Shots hit on 5+, 6 if target is in cover.
CC: Figures roll off. If tied, both figures retreat one pencil length.
Each side rolls once at end of turn – on a 6 a reinforcement figure appears.
It worked surprisingly well, and the players were cheering every die roll.

Excellent news – glad the adapted Close Wars Rules work well in public. I’m sure this would work well for other periods (Wild West, French Indian War, Civil War Skirmish etc)
