World War Two has always been one of my favorite periods and in fact the first one for me to game in as a “Historical Wargamer” back then the scale was 20mm or in modeling terms 1\/72 scale. 20mm was because that was the matching scale for 1\/72 -1\/76 scale plastic kit vehicles that were readily available in the model building world. Now days 20mm has lost popularity due to the rise of “Flames of War” and the resulting 15mm scale its played in. Many of still like the larger scale and have large collections we just are not going to re-do!<\/p>\n
