| Pendraken 10mm early WW1 British |
I've recently written about doing the
Mexican Revolution and
Chinese Warlord Era in 10mm for use with
Red Actions, but I have also long been interested in doing the Russo-Polish War or other aspects of the Russian Civil War for which RA was of course specifically designed, and for which 10mm figures are readily available.
Another conflict that has previously captured my interest is the Chaco War, but given the current availability of figures and vehicles, this would be much better tackled in 15mm.

| Pendraken 10mm Colonial Egyptians |
The other 20thC projects in which I've previously taken an interest are early WW1 and the First Balkan War. These would be for both
Square Bashing and for
Bloody Big Battles! For 1914 I have considered 6mm in order to cut down on the work. However, the aesthetic appeal of 1914 for me is the distinctiveness of the British caps and German Pickelhauben which IMO are just capturable in 10mm but somewhat lost in 6mm.
The appeal of the First Balkan War lies in it being an offbeat precursor of WW1. The armies I would do would be Bulgarian (using WW1 Russians) and Turkish (using Late Nineteenth Century Colonial Egyptians) and Zouaves. The Turks would be doable in 6mm, but WW1 Russians are available only in 10mm.
Finding appropriate artillery is an issue but there are options which most people wouldn't be knowledgeable enough to question!
