The Prefect Period

While I was at Historicon, the thought of starting a new period has crossed my mind more than once. Being an engineer type, I tried to put down some "objective" (as if that's gonna be easy) criteria on how to go about this decision. Here it goes:

1. In 25/28mm or larger- I can no longer comfortably see in that scale anymore. So other than completing troops in 12/15mm that I already have, anything brand new which I start have to be a larger scale.

2. Something small-ish- i.e. My dream of re-starting on my 25mm Napoleonics again should be squashed quickly.

3. Interesting Troops types- Should have foot troops, cavalry (that means pre-ww2), Artillery, and preferably some form of mechanical conveyance. The last requirement pretty much limited the choices to the Inter-war years.

Taken the conclusion of "some conflict set in the inter war years", one can list the more interesting wars which happened and see what we have:

a. Poncho Villa/Mexican revolution (One can use Mexicans that can easily be used in Western games and Maximillian games, there are US troops, armor cars, etc.)
b. Rif War (FFL, Riffian Bandits, Abd El Krim, Armor cars, planes)
c. WW1 Middle East- Beduin tribesmen, camels, primitive tanks/armor cars, British, turks, German advisors. Omar Sharif & Anthony Quinn. Can extend to various British desert campaign against the natives.
d. North West Frontier- I can reuse my Afghan figures w/o change. Need new WW1 era or inter war era Brits & Indians. Armor Cars.
e. Back of Beyond (not really a historical period but rather a genre defined by a figure line)- this covers Russian Civil War, Chinese Warlord conflicts, and the cross section of both of these plus one can have Western Interventionist Expeditionary forces which means you can pretty mush have games using anyone (US, Chinese Warlord, Brit, French , Russians (white & Red) along with whacky things like Czechs & Poles. archeologists and dinosaurs are also accepted.

After looking at this, one sees that d & e are closely linked, and can easily be grouped into one.

Now back to high level requirements:

4. Availability of nice figures.

At this point the choices are clear: Back of Beyond [BoB](with figures from Copplestone & Brigade) should give me a wide range of actions. So IF I am to start on new projects (not saying that I am, being the budget conscious miser that I am), I'll start to build my Bob armies....
