About MicroMark

What is an "army list"? It was once asked. From MicroMark, it is an A4 (8.25x11.75 inches) colour coded card sheet detailing the organisation and equipment of a particular brigade or division. Starting with combat battalions, details of squad sizes and heavy weapons within platoons are recorded, along with all support weapons, armoured vehicles, guns etc. from battalion support units. Further sections cover all combat from regiment level batteries to Army level heavy tanks and super heavy artillery and missile units.

A Notes section concludes with details of allocation of radios, infantry anti-tank weapons, night-fighting equipment, as well as date restrictions as appropriate.

MicroMark army lists are unique in that they are available individually - no need to buy a whole book for that one army you are interested in! This means that customers can build up their collection of lists at a rate suitable to them, perhaps as their different are being built up. It also means that as new sources of information are discovered, updated lists can be produced quickly (no need to wait 5 years for the second edition book....)

Where MicroMark lists surpass all rivals is that all known combat units are listed (including engineers). Plus, they are the most wide ranging - WW2 Philippines, Libyans, Iraqis and Persians for example, and post 1990s modem, currently unavailable elsewhere. Less welt known wars are covered, such as the Gran-Chaco war, Arab-Israeli 1948 and 1956 wars, and Korean War. How about the Irish Army 1970s and 1990s for unusual?

For miniature gaming enthusiasts, no points values are included - i.e. they are not tied to any particular rules system. Thus MicroMark lists are suitable whether you skirmish in 2mm/25mm or fight Corps level battles in 2mm! They are ideally suited for 1/300 (6mm), 1/285 and 1/200 gamers who fight with battalions.

MicroMark likes to be consumer responsive - if you do not see a list for a unit you require, please write and ask, we'll see what can be done. In addition, if anyone has information that is not on a list, or contradicts details recorded on lists, then please send it in. Such help will be rewarded.
