When you look into the military miniatures, you need to be very careful about scale. In fact, its been a recurring gripe of that crowd that manufacturers use a simple MM measure instead of a scale. Historically, each manufacturer deliberately scaled out their lines slightly differently, in the hope of locking customers into a particular supplier. You will find, for example, that in practice the moniker "25mm" covers figures that scale out to from 72:1 all the way down to about 56:1. In general they are closer to S scale than HO, and are all very, very noticeably larger than HO. The 15mm actually tend to be more uniform in scale but are noticeably smaller than HO. 20mm will be the closest you'll get (there are no manufacturers of 22mm) but unfortunately is the least supported of the common scales in military miniatures. Any reputable supplier will tell you, upon being asked, the actual size of the figures in millimeters and you can scale them out for yourself before ordering any.
