Reply To: There is no place for (armoured) vehicles and fliers in a 28mm skirmish game?

I think you can justify armour support in 28mm games, especially the larger sized battles.  However fliers become a little bit harder to justify in terms of models owing to the speed at which they would typically travel – they would effectively make a full pass of the table in less than a single turn.  More modern and futuristic games can justify helicopters and other VTOL type aircraft but actual fighter aircraft and bombers always felt silly to me.

However I will caveat all of this with “I like purdy models” and that’s usually enough a a justification for anything

Also, could someone explain how a specific method of activating units can be considered historically accurate or indeed inaccurate?  I wasn’t aware that real armies in real battles would activate their units in specific sequences governed by a set of rules
