(Shameless plug mode on)
As a matter of interest, watch out for GZG's new range of 1/300 scale
miniatures. They are micro scale versions of our popular 25mm resin vehicles.
The first models in the range are now available in the UK (hopefully soon in
the
US) with others to follow soon. These are the Gauntlet APC and the AV-6
VTOL. Sculpted by Kev White, they are superb miniatures (even if I say so
myself)
being faithful copies of their big 25mm cousins - with every panel
clearly to be
seen!! Retailing at £1-95 for a pack of 3 they are some of the best
micro scale models I have seen.

BTW, for any folks in the north of England, GZG will be at Recon '96 in Leeds
at the end of this month. (Not yours truly, but Jon, Dave and Tim should be
there).

> On a more conventional FT List note, Scotia Micromodels have been
I was generaly disappointed with most of Scotia's range. I prefer more
futuristic looking tanks (The scotia range that you mention is a set based on
conventional hulls with either an air cushion added round the hull, or flat
plates instead of tracks. They do have new turrets). Scotia also do
another range of SF vehicles labeled 'Imperial' or some such. These are more
futuristic looking grav tanks, and a tracked mobile fortress. Worth a look.
If anyone wants some very futuristic looking grav tanks, try the Dark Star
range. These are microarmour based on Denizens Federation and Phug. The
later model Federation (The Grav ones, not DSF-1, 2 or 3 which are quite
poor) are IMHO quite excellent. The Phug would make excellent 'Alien' Tanks,
wether that be Kra'Vak, Phug, Eldar, little green men or whatever. They are in
scale with Space Marine stile figures, being someewhat larger than standard
microarmour (Or the Future Wars range anyway). Well worth a look.

I'm interested too, any chance of telling me where and when and so on?
I have my Ren. Legion Tanks on the bottom of flying bases so they are
about a 1/4" off the table to give them a gravitic float effect. Very
good tanks!

I've been playing RL for a while. I mounted mine on the stand as you did
for regular combat mode and on the post of the stand for tree-top mode.
Yes I have a lot of RL minis both metal and plastic. These set ups work well
with DS2. ps Metal RL minis for Interceptor and Centurion are available direct
from C in C Precision in Miniatures, 8090 University Ave. N. E., Fridley, MN
55432 US
For excellent, cheap DS2 APCs and Tanks, I can recommend Renegade Legion
COHORTS. ISBN 1-55560-175-8 for example. $20 for 18 medium grav tanks,
18 light grav tanks, 9 medium grav apcs and 9 light grav apcs. In
plastic, 1/285-1/300 (ie Epic) scale.

It's on on the 30th Nov, from 10am in the Armley Leisure Center.
It isn't the easiest place to find. Try and get there early, drive around
Armley till you get thouroughly lost, then ask someone for directions.

Do C in C have a fax number or Web address that we can send orders to?
