I live in Chicago , i played never finished watchdogs . Outside of the downtown area nothing else in that game looks like Chicago . <| sep |> If you are planning on playing with each other , there is nothing wrong with playing at 172 scale . You don ' t have to change one thing in the game templates , ranges , etc . . Plastic Soldier Co . is a great way to get into the game and they have a pretty good range . If you have a platoon of Germans , I ' d either pick up US or UK sets from PSC . Mind you to get the full gambit of options , you ' d likely have to pick up the heavy weapons kits too which will leave you with quite a few extra squads . But going 20 mm , it isn ' t too bad on the wallet . Of the two , I think US is a little more forgiving in play with their advance fire rules . But both are great to pair off against Germans . You can also try Russians , but that is going to be a lot of models to pick up and paint compared to these other nations . If anything , I ' d consider buying the Army rule books for specific nations and get an idea of what type of force you want to build . Consider it best maybe starting at 750 , and then up to 1 , 000 points which is your standard force .
