> What do you use for figs? I've just been checking the Geo-Hex web page and I'm astonished to see that you lot over the pond are deprived of the UNSC Star Tiger Fighters. I too use a mix of NSL ships for EA ships and micromachines for Mimbari (the flyer is now a chopped up light cruiser), however I would not be with out my Starfuries < oops, Star Tigers:) >

I give - since I don't have the rulebook handy what is the UNSC? Is there a whole line of UNSC ships available in the UK that are not available in USA? You didn't mean NAC (New Anglian Confed) did you? Nick Caldwell cncald@aol.com ______________________________ Reply Separator

The Star Tigers are fighters from the GZG range rather than the CMD range. they are heavy fighters reminiscent (cloned one might say if it were not for copyright purposes) from a certain TV show popular with Sci-Fi fans <cough, cough Babyloncough5, cough...). It looks like the UNSC is going to get the best (Gucci!) kit, they get heavy fighters before the other navies, and the infantry get the best power armour judging by the recent release of UN SG II infantry. The Star Tigers are GF-006 95p for 6. I'm not sure if there are any other UN ships available yet. I hope this helps,

You noticed the resemblance! > It looks like the UNSC is going to get the best (Gucci !) kit, they No. Heavy fighters are now available for NAC, ESU, NSL, FSE and Kra'vak. The new UNSC SGII figures are in(quote from catalogue) "full hardsuits, effectively light power armour, bit much less bulky than the PA units of the NAC, NSL etc. The standard arm is the Ifantry Plasma Weapon(IPW) 80 with the SPW 82 RF plasma gun carried as a support weapon." > The Star Tigers are GF-006 95p for 6. With the takeover of CMD by GZG, the pricing policy on all fighters (in the UK) is now: standard fighters 95p for 12, heavy fighters 95p for 6. > I'm not sure if there are any other UN ships available yet. No, not yet. See my other post.
