Peter Pig 15mm figures Peter Pig is one of the world's leading 15mm figure manufacturers. We make 5500 different figures and models. These are distilled into 1800 (15mm) packs. Every range has an associated set of rules. Also, there are related 15mm scenery ranges to accompany the figure ranges. In these days of wandering measures of sizes into 18mm, 12mm and other sizes close to 15mm; Peter Pig has remained true to the 15mm ideal. These other sizes are often an attempt by a manufacturer to create a market for just their peculiar size. It is also used by sculptors who cannot work well with the 15mm size restriction and so need extra size in order to create acceptable sculpts. Peter Pig will continue to do 15mm wargame figures. We will also constantly return to each range in order to carry out updates and additions. Thus we have 15mm ranges with longevity and future potential.
Longships raid game
This is a short report on a “longships” game. Longships is the new rule set from Peter Pig. Longships covers ninth century warfare. The two players were Chris and Stewart. Both players were using Viking armies. It is a Viking on Viking raid game. This battle report show how the mechanism takes effect rather than a detail of each mechanism. For more detail see the PP website rules section.
Chris and Stewart used the points system to build their respective armies. Each army has 5 units and a general. The figure scale is 1 to 1.
Pre-game
Chris and Stewart carried out simple map based re-game. Stewart gained nothing from the pre- game. Chris on the other hand gained, a “re-roll reinforcements”, “ gain 2D6”, “no deviation arrival” and a “lose 1 base, gone Viking” events.
Because Chris won the pre-game he becomes the raider. Stewart takes the role of defender. Here is the pre-game map. Players proceed from start to end via a route of their own choosing.
The building templates are set up first using a vector method. Notice the dots that delineate the 6” grid. Table is 5 x 3 feet.

Enough buildings and accessorise to create the 6 building groups need for a raid in "Longships". Buildings are designed for use with 15mm figures. The buildings come unpainted but have enough engraved and built detail to reward a quick wash and dry brush approach
