This is a great thread, but no mention of Red Cliff?

I have been interested in Chinese minis for wargaming for awhile, mostly for fantasy purposes though (cause less heavy button count research and I already had a fantasy setting made up with a Chineselike evil empire for a web comic), but I do like studying the history of that country and its military interactions since I live in an area with a large Asian community (Orange County CA) and one of the local history museums here (Bowers)  often displays exhibits from Asia, particularly from China.

My go to for Chinese miniatures (Watchful I Studio) has already been mentioned but I did not notice any mention of the Assault Group (TAG) and 1st corps which both have fairly good lines covering the Medieval and Ancients Dynasties eras. 1st corps even has some of their more exotic opponents (like the Burmese) and dynasties that are not really that covered like the Shang and Zhao. There is also old glory (Boxer Rebellion and Han)  and Newline Designs (Sung and Tang mostly).

Edit: Oh, and Korea’s Three Kingdoms Period would be an awesome war game setting, I could see it being done for something like Saga easy.
