Metal on Metal at Warflag

Warflag is a very useful website for wargamers. The main offering is a set of printable flags suitable for all scales and a variety of conflicts. The main site is here:

The site also is home to several subsites based around specific wargaming interests. On one of those can be found a very helpful image, which provides a comparison of metal "25mm" figures for the colonial era. This image is found here:

The ranges included in the picture fall into three groups.

The largest figures are:

• Cannon Fodder
• Essex
• Castaway
• Honorable Lead Boiler Suit Company
• Redoubt

Medium sized figures include:

• Old Glory
• Wargames Foundry
• Irregular
• Falcon UK
• Dixon (their height is closer to the third group, but the sculpting fits better here)

Among the smaller figures are:

• Matchlock
• Minifigs
• Ral Partha
• Frontier
• Reviresco

It is this final group which are in scope for this blog - they are the ones that seem most likely to supplement plastic armies. But for anyone with questions about the others, this is a good starting point.
