Any thoughts of using 1/72 scale miniatures vice tokens/counters for the various DCG modules? 1/72 figures are approximately 1 inch in height wich would match the one-inch hexes on the various maps.

I've ordered a "Wild West Cowboy" and an "Indian" set. 48 Cowboys + 2 horses + 2 riders and 48 Indians + 2 horses + one rider. I'll post some pics if they work with the DCG maps.

When playing with my son in 2016 I used Cardboard Heroes, which are nominally 1/72, and it worked very well.

Alert: For anyone buying plastic miniatures, the Imex & Revell minis are 1/72 scale. The Airfix Cowboys, even though the box advertises 1/72 scale, the minis are "1/87" HO scale.

Update: Spruedude's miniatures arrived. Looks like they are 32mm in size (larger than my 1/72 minis), but still fit inside the LAW 1" hexes. For some reason the Dwarf heads come in two-parts.  ? Minis are nice and thick hard plastic. Arms with weapons are interchangeable with other character/races. Snake Men come with one crossbow (will give it to one of the Human Fighters) and many heads for different appearances. The Elve Infantry sprue is now sold-out. As a Free gift I was given an Old West "Out House" building model. |

The free "Out House" is the size of one TFT hex (1.5"). Decided to order the 28mm stable and crates (12 crates) plus Gunslingers I & II (10 male/female fighters) to use with LUW.

I guess I should have searched the Web first, 1/72 scale is 20mm and 28mm is 1/56 scale. So all my Cowboy & Indians are 20mm and all my Sprudude minis are 28mm. I was hoping to use my stagecoach & wagons with my Sprudude Cowboys, a 28mm horseless wagon is currently $16.99.
