Hi,

do some of the knowledgable people on here know about WWI tabletop games/boardgames? And about manufacturers of WWI models?

Thanks,

Not at all knowledgable, but Irregular Miniatures do a 2mm line which is economical and easy to store.They also do 6mm, 10mm, 20mm and 25mm WW1. Which scale are you interested in?

Ruleswise, GW Historical have released a rule set (Great War) which is quite good it seems. Ideally for 28mm, can be used down to 15mm easily.

There's a slew of air combat and naval combat rules, but I'm assuming it's land warfare you mean.  

Oh yeah  - link to Irregular.

Argh, hard to resist a package called "World War I - Battlepacks / British/African v German/African"; gunboats, African Queen and Askari!  :blues:
(Ok, I have to add the boats, but you get my drift...)

Dont Redoubt do some really nice 28mm WW1 figures? Not seen them in person but looked very nice on their website.

Cheers

James
