Subject: 15mm figures

I recently came across some 15mm figures originally made for Striker that I
want to use for Stargrunt. Is there anyone currently selling
more 15mm Sci Fi figures/vehicles?  I really like the scale more than
25mm. In SGII some GZG 15mm are shown but I can't find them anywhere for sale
on the net, and as I am active duty military stationed in Panama the Net is my
only source... If any body has any or knows where I can get some, please let
me know. By the way, I am new to the list, so if I am asking something already
covered, forgive me.

To settle any rumours or well-intentioned misinformation, here is the
actual situation as of this moment:

MT is out of print; both GeoHex and myself are sold out on them, but there
may well be some copies still on the shelves at distributors and/or
stores in both the US and UK. There will ALMOST CERTAINLY be a reprint run
done very soon, we're just sorting out when and how many.

FT (aka FTII) is still in stock at both GZG and GeoHex, so distributors and
stores should have NO problems getting them - I'm sure GeoHex would like
to be told of any problems you encounter with stores telling you otherwise. We
MAY decide to print a few more FT at the same time as the MT reprint, to make
sure we don't run out.

FTIII (of which much has been talked) WILL happen, but we don't yet know
when - it certainly won't be in the next few months, so FTII will be the
only version on sale for a while yet. FTIII won't change the gameplay in
any major ways - the main changes will be in peripheral areas like ship
design (ie: fixing the problems!), and MT will still be useful for it in a
large part - so please don't let the prospect of FTIII put you off
getting FTII & MT in the short term!
We are making a start on the Fleet Book - as usual, no promises yet of a
release date, because everything always takes longer than originally thought!
Our intention is to make the FB compatible with FTII, but incorporating some
of the planned changes for FTIII (particularly on the design system), so that
the FB ship designs are still valid when FTIII finally comes out.

More news as it happens!

BTW, I don't want to be seen as stepping on Mike's toes or contradicting him,
but there may be times when his info is a little out of date due to his
current infrequent access to the list. There may be times when Mike can't
speak to me before answering a query, which isn't a problem on things like
rules questions but can be on matters like stock situations. Please bear with
us!

Tabletop Miniatures might still be selling the old "Laserburn" range of 15mm
SF that TTG used to sell.

According to Bill Armintrout's web site (The Miniatures Page) they reside at
40, Queens Road North, Eastwood, Nottingham,
NG16 3LA (United Kingdom). Phone/Fax (01773) 712046. They take
Visa and Mastercard orders supposedly.

There are other 15mm SF ranges. Peter Pig and Irregular come to mind, but
these are, I think, more in the chunky GW style.
The Laserburn range from TTM pre-date Warty Forty... The latter
is a derivative of the former.
