Baccus 6mm Ltd specialises in the design and production of wargames figures and accessories in the 6mm scale. Although it is often overlooked by the dominance of the 15mm and 28mm scales. The smaller figures offer huge advantages in terms of flexibility, prices and ease of painting. It often comes as a pleasant surprise to our new customers that they find 6mm figures easier and quicker to paint than their coarser-scale brethren.

6mm figures can be used to create small forces for those short of space and resources. But are at their best when used in the grand projects where large number of miniatures can be used in a small space to create a mass effect.

To those unfamiliar with Baccus figures the general perception of 6mm is of poor quality design. Little attention to detail and a general 'blobby' appearance. We take the attitude that small size should be no barrier to quality. And take great pride in the sculpting and design of our products. Special care goes into the General and Personality figures in the range. If you think it would be impossible to spot historical personalities in 6mm scale figures then its perhaps time you gave us a second look.

This web site is far more than just a catalogue of our ranges. There is information on how to paint miniatures, uniform details, a bulletin board and lots of pictures and background information.

IF you've never considered 6mm scale figures before, then it's worth spending some time at this site. If you have seen other 6mm before and dismissed them, then it is still worth a look - until you have seen Baccus 6mm, you've not really seen 6mm!

GMB Designs emerged in response to a demand for flags and standards of a quality to match that of the top ranges of figures available to discerning collectors and wargamers. The flags are reproduced from hand painted originals and are the result of many years of meticulous research, gathering information from primary sources where possible. Where no primary sources exist, the designs are based on contemporary regulations and comparison with similar flags. I owe a debt to the enthusiasts and academics who have contributed their knowledge to my research.

GMB Designs are committed to producing flags and standards as close to original designs as possible and for this reason whenever new, reliable facts and sources are uncovered, the flags are updated.

Miniature Flags for Historical Miniature Gamers and Collectors. Complete 10mm Game System and Products for the Napoleonic Wars (La Petite Armée) and American Civil War (LPA:ACW, Limited Edition).

If you have been thinking of getting into war gaming the Napoleonic period, you’ve probably been overwhelmed by the questions, choices, and amount of information and advice out there.  What scale of figures?  What level of command when choosing the rules, and then which of the dozens of rules available do you use?  How and where do I get the terrain?  Will I be able to find an opponent who has made the same decisions I have?

The decisions may seem endless and daunting to a new gamer so I have created the LPA Complete 10mm Napoleonic System.  It is just what it claims to be – COMPLETE! – a ready to play game right out of the box.  It’s not like some “complete” starter sets that give you a couple of bags of unpainted miniatures a set of rules and a couple of paper buildings.  Each LPA Complete 10mm Napoleonic System comes with two painted 10mm armies, one French and your choice of a British, Russian, Prussian, or Austrian army as an opponent – over two-hundred figures and guns already mounted on flocked, magnetic movement stands and metal magnetic brigade stands with the appropriate national flag.  You also get all the terrain you need to set up an attractive 3’x2’ battlefield including three 2’x1’ battleboards, six hills, eight buildings, twenty trees, four fields, four stone wall sections, four sections of hedges, one stone bridge, and material for roads and rivers – and everything is already painted and/or assembled.  You get a set of rules, La Petite Armée, with reference cards, markers, casualty caps, and markers – even dice and rulers.  And everything comes packed complete in a handy, portable box for easy transport.  And you don’t have to worry if someone else has the same scale figures or plays the same rules.  Since each game is complete, all you need is an opponent ready to play.  Games with the basic set, representing a Corps of 15,000 plus men on each side, can be played to completion in 2-3 hours.

Many of my customers have purchased just the basic game system and fought dozens of enjoyable battles over the years without every feeling the need to expand what they have.  Others have added additional games, armies, terrain, etc, to fight the size battles they are looking for.  I myself have the equivalent of four games worth of terrain and over 2300 figures in my set.  It is up to you. If any of these apply to you, then welcome to the world of Le Petit Armée Complete 10mm Napoleonic System. This system is designed to provide you with one-stop shopping when it comes to your Napoleonic gaming needs. LPA is based upon a set of rules of the same name, and every item you need to play using those rules can be obtained using this system.

And LPA is not just for gamers new to the Napoleonic period.  I myself have been gaming for over thirty years and many of my customers are also experienced players who have been attracted by the smaller scale, easy to learn and play rules, and overall look of the LPA system.
