More scale stuff

TSSD has confirmed that his new Mini-Sets will be made in resin. The material we are told is comparable to that used to make Replicants. So this is actually PLASTIC.  The scale should match the sets they are intended to enhance. As you know Germans will be the first set. TSSD has the following on their site;

"WE DO NOT MAKE FIGURE SETS TO "MATCH IN SIZE / SCALE" TO FIGURES DESIGNED 55 YEARS AGO. ( MANY OF THOSE FIGURES ARE 40mm TO 70mm, AND EVERYWHERE IN-BETWEEN )" THE GROWING TREND IN THE HOBBY, FOR BOTH METAL AND PLASTIC, HAS BEEN "LARGER".

Hmm this confuses us as Barzso is using injection plastic for their new sets and they are 54mm, We do like the way that TSSD is up front about its' intentions and we like the majority of what they have produced.. We also like the fact that Paragon, CTS and Barzso are doing 54mm in plastic. Ain't we fickle??

At "Cold Wars" two years ago, I saw but two 54mm games being run. The WWII one took up an enormous amount of table space and stuff really had to be compressed, the other was a Civil War game, the terrain was very conceptual (hexagons at increasing altitude) but took up a much more reasonable amount of space.

I've always been hooked on 54mm.
