The spledid ancient greek game based on the attack on Megara.

This is the game I am involved with. We did this game at Salute, and have run it out again. It is the WW1 raid on Zeebrugge by the Royal Navy. Which was referred to by @oriskany in his fab ww1 article series.

A what if battle set during the Great Northern Wars. Russian v Sweden. On a 12’x5′ table the figures may be small but the battles are big.

Another WW1 game depicting the epic battle of Metz in June 1918

This is a display table by Commission Figurines a purveyor of MDF 6mm figures as you can see they hold up well against their metal counterparts.

Not all Historical or massed battles, 6mm works small sci-fi games. In this case a home brew set of rules which will be in the show programme at Recon 2018 on 1st December 2018

Classic DBA in 6mm fun for all the family, although apparently Pokemon is still better.. ?

6mm figures can be used in many ways for example to add a bit of depth to the Command and Colors system.

Even the Cold War gets some serious love with this awesome 18′ X 6′ table.

Air combat in 1/300 scale using Check your 6 rules.

A classic Second World War Game

Another classic wargame using 6mm figures.

Interesting use of Mirror balls for this sci-fi game.

Second World War 1/300 scale game depicting an attack by the Germans on HMS Illustrious using an Ark Royal Model. Using a rule set called Bag the Hun, with a few tweaks.
