So the old sets had vehicles in scale ranging from 10-15 mm. Is there a list somewhere of which vehicles are 15mm scale? I'm thinking of picking up some of the older vehicles, but only if the scale is consistent with the newer sets.
I don't think there were many, if any, vehicles in 15mm scale in the old sets. I know what the Wiki says, but I wonder if the scale reference was to all units -- the soldiers were probably 15mm in the old sets and never changed. The vehicle scale definitely did. Here are the V1 and V2 sets: V1 Base set: Kite shield with small white star; Set II: Big black star over tiny laurels; Contested Skies: Black wings/White shield; D-Day: Tank obstacle; Reserves: Jet. V2 1939-1945: Sherman tank; North Africa: Palm tree; Eastern Front: German grenade; Early War: French helmet; Counter Offensive: Machine gun

To answer this particular question, the v1 vehicles are generally smaller compared to v2 vehicles. They play just fine so you can still use them, it is strctly the size difference. They can also proxie for other units. They are useful...

Not only that, but many units were ONLY made in the smaller Version 1 scale, like the Jadgpanther, Katyusha, T-35, Chi-Nu for example. I agree with curtm1911...the Version 1 vehicles ARE useful; it really comes down to your personal preference. For me personally, I'd like all the vehicles to be the same size, but it doesn't bother me if they aren't.
