Thanks, guys for all your replies I appreciate all that you have said, I am coming from Napoleonic wargaming where I have 5000+ figures for French and British. I came to this game with the wrong mindset thinking that I can create huge battles using the Bolt Action Rules like I can with my Napoleonic.

Maybe its time to create my own house rules so I can have my own large engagements on my 6ftx4ft table.
I’ll have to reorganize my collection as I still have these boxes of stuff coming this week and in the next few weeks stuff from warlord games should be arriving:

I guess i went a little overboard with my collecting, i didn’t want to miss out on anything. its most annoying to have a game or build an army only to find that you have a unit missing and need to wait weeks or months for it to arrive.

I will just have to play small games of Bolt action with rolling reinforcements coming onto the table at certain points of the main battle so the units can all get a chance to shoot at each other…lol
