I really like the Wargames Foundry Zulu line. I'd try to build up an army of them, but no one I know plays historicals, and even if they did the racist comments I'd hear from other people in the store would probably result in a multiple homicide.

Woah. Could you post some pictures of 1mm miniatures??! That sounds hilarious. Do you move them around the board with tweezers?

It's probably a ship combat game or something. BFG is probably around 1nm scale.

Not everyone cosplays the AWI like you do.

In IRC we were coming up with some scenarios/forces for Ambush Alley that would be less offensive:

* Panama
* Grenada
* Chechnya
* Israel/Palestine (okay, that might offend)
* Some kind of Blood Diamond Conflict scenario

I guess I just see no reason to make it US v. Arabs or something.

How about Aztecs vs Seljuq Turks? Laotian Peacekeepers vs Roman Communist Partisans?

Here's another whitewash method using a liquid mask:

I'd be kind of surprised if those brushes don't bounce back to being good as new.

While this figure will be thought ridiculous by those only interested in historically accurate figs, since I also have an interest in fantasy battles, I'm delighted that WF stuck to the exposed cleavage and questionable lower armor. A woman in historically accurate armor would be nearly indistinguishable from a man and I see no point in such a line. For fantasy battles however, bringing out the sexiness is key to making an all-female unit worth putting on the table. That said, I do have to agree that the female form itself is not captured in the sculpt as well as I had hoped. It's like the punch was pulled at the last moment. You've got this really sexy set of armor on a girl I'm not sure I'd pick up at the local bar. I'd have gone full bore on this fantasy figure by exaggerating the thin waste (achieving the classic Playboy 34-24-36 measurements) and celebrating the female form in the sculpt. Still, I'll give you guys a "B" for the figure and an "A" for keeping it a scantly clad fantasy figure instead of something "realistic."

At the smaller end of the scale, apparently GW's Legends of the Old West is actually rather amazing at skimish scale and isn't as focused on shooting as you'd think. Never played it myself, but should be cinematic enough for ASOFAI.
