@laughingboy  Good Evening Sir. Can I interest you in 6mm gaming .. It IS the one true scale . You wont be disappointed

@torros now that is just being silly 😀

[torros 23839xp 1]

Ok then…What about 2mm? 🙂

[oriskany 60789xp 2]

Bah.  1:10,000 (1″ hex = 250m) is the true Panzer Leader scale.  😀

Oh, I forgot … those games are “silly.”

for a man who came up with Darkstar that seems like a very large scale there Jim 🙂

[oriskany 60789xp 1]

Oh God, I don’t even know what “scale” Darkstar would be.

Eh … 1.5″ hexes (physical map) = 180 kilometers.

39600 inches in a kilometer (approximating 3.3 feet per meter).

26,400 hexes (1.5″ hexes) per km

x180km per hex = 1:4.75 million.

That is NOT QUITE 0.0004mm, less than 4/10,000 of one millimeter, or less than 0.4 microns.

And yes, Darkstar is a tactical wargame.  Once you get into operational wargames, scale isn’t even an issue.
