Wayne and I are planning to go to the Bangkok DBMM event in May and so we have blown the dust off some 15mm armies and are reminding ourselves of the wide open spaces of 400AP of 15mm on a 6x4 table. That's about 33% more area than our 28mm games on 8x5!
For today's game, Wayne brought Alans to face my Early Carthaginians. Invading but forced to deploy first, the table was a bit bare and the Carthaginians were stretched rather thin. Wayne made the early running but gradually the dice turned. Numidian LH(O) and Campanian Cv(O) eventually overcame the Alan's left flank LH(S) while their Kn(F) were steadily ground down by Chariots, African Spear and the Sacred Band.

Tilman WalkI personally love 6 mm, stands look like units, its much easier to transport and store, its much cheaper and it aligns much better with the terrain and ground size. And seriously, who cares which button is exactly where on the dress of the units we usually paint? Only problem is to see anything about them when you need glasses to see what is what in 15 mm.....
James DaviesThe improvement in the force : space ratio should favour the Alans - and make the game more fun.
Nick BuckbyIf you play 600AP that should fix the problem.
Vincent CholewaI think this illustrates the point you were making a few weeks ago about 400AP being the better size for a full-size game.
Mike Waters15mm is the best option without having to need huge table areas.
