    We looked into doing the SCW in 6mm using Spearhead rules but never got around to making it happen. You may inspire me to have another go!

      Phil Broeders,

      Good luck! I created my own 1:300th-scale SCW set up back in the 1980s when I wrote my ARRIBA ESPANA rules. I still have them somewhere and really out to get them onto a tabletop sooner rather than later.

      All the best,

      Bob
