Very popular here in NZ (where it was designed), very GW in its marketing appearance etc... I might be doing it at some point soon as I have non-gaming friends who are keen to give it a whirl. I have a few other things to complete first, including a a dozen titans.

Its a big game in Oz, and pretty much the biggest non GW game around for popularity.
Good luck CC!

You can easily play FoW in 6mm, although I'm sure Battleground won't thank me for saying this. Just use cm instead of inches and you're all set, although if you want to be _really_ accurate you can divide all distances by three.
I gave Scott Elaurant some advice on hardware availablity & stuff when he wrote the unofficial FoW army lists for Finnish army.

Oddly enough (considering comments in another thread) I'm just in the process of putting together an Italian force for a North Africa campaign.
And in terms of sales here where I live it's probably the second largest miniature line after GW's stuff and slightly ahead of Confrontation.

I'd start playing if there was any US distribution support!
My FLGS is unable to get any product!

Played quite a bit at first, then they went and redid all the rule books right after we bought them. Killed the interest in the area very quickly.
Based on the original American book, I have a Mid-War Tank Company, Armored Rifle Platoon, and some support platoons. I have been told my army is no longer legal based on the "new" books. Too bad, do not plan on buying much more with no one playing.

That has more to do with game than figure scale. If a game has been made for company level (like FoW is) you won't get a mass combat feel. But it has nothing to do with figure scale.

Hi,
FoW is popular in my area, but I don't want to invest in 15mm WWII armies when I have them already in microarmor scale. I don't want to have to buy and paint new armies.
It's not a bad game, but the game mechanics are very similar to 40k although the company is much more gamer-friendly.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
