For a military strategy game i was wondering, would it be better to have Paper of Plastic minis?
My main problem is that both have pros and cons
Paper miniature Pros:
quick, simple to make, easy make a larger army, far cheaper, more customizable
Paper miniature Cons:
easy to break and bend, don't stand up quite well
Plastic miniature Pros:
stand up to a lot of punishment, more visually appealing, can actually stand up (with a base)
Plastic miniature Cons:
more expensive than paper, not as customizable, harder to reproduce for larger armies
Each piece would represent 1 either 1 soldier or 1 unit, depending on how you would like to play the game.
My original idea came from the Fire Emblem game series, and i mixed it with a little bit of Warhammer 40k.
In my rulebook, i include 2 sets of rules: 1 for each piece being 1 soldier, and each piece being a unit. for size i was thinking about 35mm (about an inch and 1/2)
Each army could range from a simple 10 points (1 point per unit, 1 point for special bonuses) to around 50 points
