Scale (1 Viewer)

I am sure this has been discussed before but what is the general scale of each line. I know WW2 is 1/30. But I just got a few WW1 soldiers and they seem small
so I guess they are 1/32? Naps 1/32? RTA 1/32? Revolution & Civil War 1/32?
Thanks

Ah scale, one of the most frustrating areas of this hobby for sure. Yes it has been addressed several times in some detail both generically and with respect to comparative manufacturers but it is always interesting to examine. Among other things, it is notable that the phrases 1/30, 1/32 etc are useful for aircraft and vehicles where the actual sizes are well documented but less so for figures where there is much more variation in heights (+/- 20%) and even further variation in heights over extended time periods (ancients vs 20th Century, e.g.). The use of the measurement of the figures height in mm from sole to tip of bare head is a better guide to see how they will look together, if accurately stated, a big if. Any way, in case you are interested, here are some threads here that discuss some of those parameters.
