Contrarian @pataverse.com · Mar 29 The earliest online reference I find to eye-height #miniatures scales was in 1993. groups.google.com/g/rec.games.... USENET archives also reminded me that Citadel was the first to call their miniatures 28mm, which might be important, too. Note also, the disagreement about average height!

Judging by other searches, scaling to eye-height (why gamers didn't say "eye level," I don't know) was common by the end of the 1990s. I still didn't know when or where it began, though. I also read a lot of old #wargaming newsletters, in case you couldn't tell. fourcats.co.uk/mags/index.h...
