1) not really an option, no-one else has the variety or completeness of ranges - and Old Glory have those awful infantry strips!

2) 6mm.  Peter at Baccusrwally deserves more of my custom, and I love troops "in" the terrain rather than on it.

3) Early  WW2,  1940 French And British, and not a big cat in sight.

4) This is the really hard one - probably nothing, I'd go for more history reading and more battlefield touring.  Might  even try and write something!

Hmmmmm..............

1) Probably TB, MM a close second
2) 6mm , as I have 6mm stuff already its not a problem
3) Not sure, but the Tudor Wars hold a certain appeal
4) Whats Wargaming?...I thought there was only the FOW hobby!
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

By the way, to show that I, as all typing Nazis do, have feet of clay! For " Baccusrwally" read "Baccus really".  Pity, as baccusrwally has a certain ring to it!

1)   you had to use 10mm other than Pendraken figures;

No point.  I'd rather go without.

2)   you had to use a different scale;

28mm

3)   you had to play a different period from your present stable of staples (ain't I poetic today?); and

Napoleonics.  Bizarrely i've managed to avoid the whole period so far...

4)   you had to change to a different game from wargaming (God forbid), and why?

Roleplaying.

1] Well, I'd rather not - but I have got some Minifigs moderns [12mm] and Old Glory in my ACW armies [they were a second-hand bargain that was too good to pass up]

2] 2mm, 3mm & 28mm

3] South American Pacific War or Chaco War

4] Roleplaying

Medievals and Sci-Fi

Battle Games  :)

(2) Or not!

Rubicon

i. It was the quality and range of Pendraken's stuff that got me into 10mm - if that wasn't available I wouldn't bother with 10mm
ii. 6mm (Baccus)
iii. WSS or maybe Colonials (Zulu war)
iv. I'd spend more time playing GMT's excellent Combat Commander: Pacific and Space Empires 4X games, as well as more Eurogames like Agricola, Puerto Rico etc..
