Is 2mm scale!! As far as I know only Irregular have miniatures of this size, and have a pretty wide range.

The game, paint and bases had been prepared by Edmund.  The game of 500-600 points is very exciting and 2mm seems perfect for a quick battle in a small terrain representing a great battle.

I am still impressed with the ruleset of warmaster for its efficiency to represent great battles, form 500 to 4000 points. It is true that in 500 points battles (minimalist battles) the supportings units are not used on its full possibilities but as the two armies are affected by few units the games still balanced.

For 500pts (aprox) battles we half the Max/Min (round up). It works well to simulate a battle in a greater scale (one  unit of cavalry represents all the cavalry of the army for example), with less units.

It is fast and fun, although a little bit different of the ordinary WM games (1000pts or more) that involve bigger brigades, etc
