Hey guys,

My apologies to everyone out there - my intent was not to promote the
guy's product as a great game. My only interest in his site was for
minitaures (being an avid miniature collector and finding sci-fi
miniatures hard to come by). I didn't mean to offend anyone or tick anyone
off. I just thought that other people might be interested in
obtaining the miniatures - not the game.

If I'd have known more about the guy, I wouldn't have made a referrence
to him.  Additionally - if there wee any way I could pull my previous
post I would.

Sorry All

Gil

Hey, Gil, not to worry. As I said, you meant well. Not everyone took this
guy's comments the way Steve Pugh and I did. Besides, his figures are pretty
affordable.

On the other hand, a number of us silently steamed. He popped when someone was
looking for Ogre minis; I don't think his 'land trains' fit the bill at all.
He popped up talking about his space ships when someone had questions about
Full Thrust. The pics on the web site are of all painted; the comments suggest
the ships are smooth to allow creativity and some kind of painting magic.
Fine, I like CMD's details. It got VERY tiresome, over and over.

Have to admit, though, it's nice to see Fireball XL-5 lives on in some
of
the ships. ;->=

Mr.Haun, I applauded your attempts to introduce another possible source of
figs; not your fault it was accompanied by very bad memories. Personally, I
rather like some of the smaller tank/gev vehicles.

As Allen mentioned, he has been much more circumspect. Perhaps I'll become
a customer again. Seems I bought some of his stuff at GenCon XIII. ;->=
