Hi, Mike,
The "FOG" rules seem great, and the competition is OK (well, I would love to see after the end of it a document stating which of the two choices was the winner every day -yes, keeping track of your voting is fairly easy-... but I am not asking for that! I would be glad to win it in any case.
But regarding the figure sets... mmmhhh... though the figures seem good themselves, the scale of choice is very odd... more over, if we are speaking of the already availble and popular 25mm scale -to all intents and purposes an equivalent scale- we see any "infantry-type" 48-figure, or a "cavalry'type" 12-figure boxing at a retail price of may be between 8 and 12 dollars. The price of the recommended sets is outrageously high in that light.
Any comments?

Hi Fernando --

I was confused by your post and reference to pricing. Are you talking about the existing soft plastic 1/72 scale (around 20mm) figures that are out there?

Our figures are 28mm (Wargames Standard 1/56th Scale) and compatible with existing metal ranges. Metal figures typically retail for between $1-3 for an infantry figure and $2-8 for cavalry.

At $29.95 | £ 18 for 48 infantry or 24 cavalry there is really not a better value available in 28m!

All the best,

Tony
