28mm wargames are fricking awful. Wargames should only be played at 15mm or smaller, because the smaller the minis, the bigger the scale. You can't play properly scaled battles with 28mm minis, only tiny skirmishes

Sounds like you are just too poor to afford enough 28mm scale minis.
No, I just like properly scaled games.
I agree but even 15mm ww2 is compressed, tanks usually engaged each other at 600 to 1000m infantry often shooted each other at 300m
This is so much better
Comfy.
I look at guys like this and feel a deep sense of peace. I imagine I will graduate to their ranks some day
It's so odd because historical players out in the wild are relatively chill older guys looking to have a fun time with their buds, but the ones here are incredibly competitive and smug even by /tg/ standards.
You can't play properly scaled battles at 15mm either. Maybe 3mm or so and you'd start to get enough dudes on a table for an actual battle. And then you'll wonder why you bother using miniatures at all.
I do not want to play some baby ass fricking skirmish. I want to play a multi-day engagement with shifting lines of battle and logistics being a factor and the fog of war and command and control. Otherwise what's the point of wargaming? Might as well play some stupid ass card game if you just want "a competitive experience"
And you aren't going to do that with 15mm miniatures any more than you will with 28mm ones.
You want to play operational level Hex & Chit, then.
Oh my god I do, but none of my friends want to join me that's for sure
while I thank you for shitting up the catalogue instead of /hwg/ for the milliionth time, I am still absolutely certain that you are nogames: somebody stimulated by participation in the hobby simply wouldn't be boring homosexual crapping on about the same one or two boring topics the whole time with zero nuance
best scale is absolutely dependent on what you want to do with it at any one time, and you're a nogames dumbfrick if you think you would be doing operational wargaming in 15mm
you're as bad as GW simps
On 15mm scale I can't see the fat breasts&asses of the female warriors
You could if they were fat enough breasts and asses to be worth the time.
Finally, an anon with some sense
What if you want to simulate smaller engagements? Not every battle needs to be army on army, platoon on platoon fighting is absolutely a thing and more realistic to how a lot of fighting occurs in more modern situations as well. Hell, squad on squad is also a thing.
Name one (one) real life situation where two platoons encountered each other, evenly matched, isolated from their parent companies.
Half of all infantry encounters since 1931.
Rape. I'm going to rape you. I'm going to fricking rape you
If you're playing for the game and not the minis, why use minis at all?
I have only ever played 40k and I agree 28mm is too big, the tables are too small, and the movement distances and weapon ranges are all fricked up because of it. That said, I don't really play 40k for realism. Maybe epic scale is better for that.
stop trying to force memes you autistic spastic
Why are 15mm and smaller gamers so insecure that they constantly need to bring up "how much better their games are than 28mm equivalent" instead of actually talking about and posting their games?
Just shut the frick up, if your game is better then people will naturally flock to it.
>if your game is better then people will naturally flock to it.
That's a lie and you fricking know it. 40k and D&D are objectively garbage games, and people flock to those. Quality hasn't had anything to do with success for decades you dumb zoomer.
its just autism, autistics get weirdly obsessed with smaller scales
This.
28mm and bigger scales dont talk about their scale. 3-15mm gamers cant shut the frick up about it.
For me it's 32mm scale skirmish games with somewhere in the region of 6-8 models a side. That's what I like.
You guys are the vegans of wargaming
Every scale has its purpose. I like 15mm or smaller, but that's just because they are better for representing the size of conflict I prefer to play. If I'm playing a cinematic Wild West firefight between two rival posses? You'll be damn sure I'll be going for 28mm.
