I started my 1:2 scale miniatures collection about five years ago. I've only got the one. I can't imagine anyone fielding an army of them, it's more of a skirmish scale. If you have ever been in soft play, you will know what I mean. It took nine months work to get it ready for play and I had to get a lot of help with it. This one is totally lead free although you wouldn't think it if you drop it on your foot. I couldn't find any Osprey books on them or even one of those jokey Haines manuals.
