As luck would have it, I was just looking at the Babylon 5 Wars page

http://members.gnn.com/agent1/b5wpress.htm

Although the minis will be useful (provided the scale is OK) The game is set
to be a hex based game, with at least 6 supplements already planned (and you
thought GW were bad).

So I plan to buy the ships, but ignore the game. However, looking at the

prices, the ships won't be in scale, or nearly large enough. So perhaps its
time to get the plasticard and balsa out.

Theres a role-playing game coming out too.  Not from the same people
though.

What size are the ships going to be? I didn't see any reference to it the last
time I looked. Are they likely to be the same size as
the micro-machine B5 ships?

Talking of which, have any of you in the U.K seen the new B5
micro-machines yet?  I certainly can't find them in Ireland yet.
Uusally when the U.K has them so do we.

All the blisters are about the same price, roughly $7. As the Hyperion, Omega,
Centauri Battlecruiser and Centauri Warship are all the same cost, The same
cost as two fighters, They will probably be the same size.

Probable size is that of FASA ST ships, so as to fit in one hex on the board.

Not seen any here.

The role-playing games is "The Babylon Project" being published by
brilliant Chameleon Eclectic in association with another gaming company (I
forget which).
