Why N-scale for wargaming?

[CaptCamping]

Less space and cheaper

[greenghost2008]

So N scale has nothing to do with black people?

[ph11p3540]

And N-scale is really good for the Flame of War game. The minis are only a slightly bigger scale but they still fit in nicely. It is better in these types of wargames that the building do no overwhelm the battle field or the games tend to get bogged down. You can have a building that is too tall or large only to forget one figure that is in an important game changing position and not realize it is there and waist a vital move or action.

And N-scale is ????

15mm or 20mm???

[TheScarletcrusader]

@SlotraceDK nano scale. usually 10mm or smaller

[HoScaleGeek]

@SlotraceDK

I'm sure the size of the houses would rather fit 15 mm, if HO scale figures are also known as 20 mm.

If you want to avoid scale differences being too obvious, place your figures on a distance from doorways if you make a movie or diorama.

[CaptCamping]

@HoScaleGeek I do the same, I place them on the door to compare.

Robert I miss playing in the local DBA tournaments so much.

I game in this scale, based in London in the UK. Anyone is welcome to contact me for a game.

1/72 or 20mm scale would go fine with HO or many items now come in 20mm

So you could use N scale for 1/144 scale wargaming ?

[delamaize]

Yes, In theroy, N Scale is 1/160th. so the buildings will be a little small. N scale moddelers use 1/144th stuff all the time.

[briansgameztube]

144 is about 15mm. I think you can use N scale, but it will look a little small. However, I think this is ok as it brings more attention to the combatants. I use 1/72 scale tanks for my Modern 15mm. Regardless, the bonus for N scale models is that there are a lot!

[ReidN79]

Do 15mm figures look ok with N-scale terrain/buildings, or do they look like midgets? Just curious.

[Bullen934]

Where can i buy stuff like that?

[oneilc818]

im trying to make a baghdad or afhagan battle. i just bought lots of modern american and arab soldiers

[Trainguymike1293]

1/160 is n-scale

[oneilc818]

[oneilc818]

[oneilc818]

i make wwii dioramas in 1/72 scale. mind i ask what scale n scale is? it looks alot like 1/144

[oneilc818]

maybe 200 n something?

[Azanti]

I have the entire Market Garden campaign in this scale and use the same buildings shown here, not ideal for putting figures in, so sometimes, note keep is required, or they have to be placed in the rear.
