Kind of a big city. Lancaster, around an hour away, a lot of Mennonites and Amish. They love corn on pizza out there. But, they're 200 years behind the rest of us.

I could have understood it more if it'd been at the same scale as the most popular model railways for getting terrain and buildings.
I blame it on the people who want to play skirmish games in 28mm (mostly the Bolt Action crowd). Over the past decades I have noted a steady move away from massed miniatures to toy soldiers. Is this the influence of GW, or are gamers growing older and can't see 1/300th as well as they used to?
I agree that 1/56 is too big to fit comfortably on a table. I do like the scale for modelling though. You can get a lot more detail in than in 1/72 and it doesn't take up as much space as 1/35.
