Kelly,
Define "regularly". I played 'em at Jake's "Winter Wars" tourney
when you played Inca. As a matter of fact, my Coldwars teammate Jaime
Gentry told all our opponents horror storys about how Rendar the Snowdog
and Ulf the Feeebleminded defeated his Sarmatians and the his CinC and
2inC died in catastrophes in that game. I played 15mm Vikings in Richmond
and I played them in a mini one year at Coldwars.
Sure, they are a better 25mm army than they are a 15mm one due to the
differing ground scales, but they are not bad in 15mm. If you want to
duplicate the ground scale in 15mm so that it approximates the ground
scale in 25mm use a 3 feet by 5 feet playing area. I worked it out in
paces once years ago with TOG and if the advancing years have not robbed
me of too much of my memory, the depth is within 5% and the width is
around 3%.

LOL! Chris,

Well do I remember that tournament! As I recall, Tom Hamilton brought Irreg
A Celts and actually killed a wedging SHK unit in a head up charge. Ofcourse his
opponent cooperated by rolling down 4 and he went up 6! Smile What year was that?
It seems sooooo long ago! Okay, Chris has been known to play Vikings a million
years ago! But as he mentioned in his post, you need to have a 3'x5' table to
approximate the same table size which leads one to the fact that foot armies
have less ground to cover in 25mm. The two games are a bit different in that
respect. One thing positive I will say about 25 mm is that you get into combat
very quickly, especially when you play Chris! That boy don't mess around!
