On the Road to Austerlitz: A 6mm Early Napoleonics Project
It would seem sensibly to use 6mm Terrain with 6mm Miniatures but it just didn’t look right to me. This scale to me is all about the Grand Mass Battles not being scale accurate.
These are both from Baccus and based on the same bases (60x30) as an ACW Brigade 
One Farmhouse having the same footprint as a Brigade takes me out of the Mass Battle aspect of the game.
A direct size comparison
In 2mm a farm with fields and surrounding area are about half the size of a Brigade
A Brigade here is about the same size as a small town with manor house/chateau
A building like La Haye Sainte in 6mm would be far too big, but this "inspired by" one fits perfectly.
I plan to place these on roads just to break them up a little
This was a 60mm Resin base from Zorpa Zorp Gaming here in Australia.
The Large Forest bases I posted recently
A 2mm Town like this can happily be put on the table and not take it over, imagine the footprint of this many buildings in 6mm and if less were used then it would decrease the effect which is (to me) a huge part of the point of playing in 6mm.
