Actually his page is one of the assets of used to do this. The vehicle
generation program saves lots of time. Also I have taken into account Mr.
Gibsons suggested generic infantry rules.Depends on what you mean with "figs
for DSII" :-/ GZG makes 6mm infantry

This is what I needed thanks.

> However, although these models are made by the same company as DSII,

I already have many different brands of 6mm figs, I just wanted to know if
they had more DSII stuff because I like the look of their Stargrunt figs and
would like to adquire the equivalent 6mm figs when they are available (I think
thats what their DSII is doing, recreating the same models from stargrunt at a
smaller scale).

GW engenders pretty strong emotions. I myself have made similar outbursts.
Thier prices, marketing schemes and blatant disregard for customer loyalty
makes my teeth chatter. I do however try to use DSII as a vehicle to which
"convert" GW gamers to other better systems (stargrunt II is also a blast).

I firmly believe that GW ascendancy as more to due with the games exposure and
general availability than with quality (in its rules, I do admit the models
are very nice if insanely priced). If I can show them a system where they can
use whatever they have and that its fun, so much the better. Having a list of
conversions handy is just a toll for making this sort of task easier.

Thanks for the help.
