For the DSII players, I just saw some Sci-Fi minis that CinC just
released (at least I had not heard about them before). It is a small line so
far
of a heavy hovertank, a 6-legged walker, and a few different APCs if I
remember right. They looked pretty good and compared well with the
GZG/Geo-Hex Future Wars line. I don't remember the price though.

Does anyone have a link to this CinC place, I'd like to take a look at their
wares myself.

I don't think they have a web page, at least none that I could find.
Their address and phone number is:
C-in-C
8090 University Ave. N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 UNITED STATES
(612) 780-8554
They have a catalog so you should be able to call an ask for it.
They are distributed by Model Search International in the UK according to the
Miniatures Page manufacturer's information

Langton carries CinC *ships*, but I understand their deal allows them to sell
only to UK customers anymore.
I have some bad experiences with MSI. I ordered quite a bunch (over 100 quid
worth) of CinC models from them, about a year back. I'm used to delays in
international orders, so I wasn't worried when I heard nothing in the next 6
weeks. Then I noticed they had charged my credit card for
the full amount. I faxed them, asking when they had shipped my order --
found out they hadn't, because their stock was short a few items (roughly half
my order, actually). Ofcourse, this was such a trifle matter they didn't
consider it worthwhile to notify me.
Ok, I decided to give them some slack and offered to let them send close
matches instead of the exact models I requested. After all, I
wasn't so concerned whether I got T-34A's or B's. Well, I actually got
something that time, including gems of thought like KV-2's instead of
KV-1's (even I can spot that difference).
Finally, about 2 months later, the rest of my stuff appears -- complete
with an extra bill for additional shipping.
Well, I'm not doing any business with these boys anymore.
Thanks for the input Mikko, I think I'll steer clear of them.
