Yep, and more to come soon - getting back on track with the new
releases after the extended "dry spell"...... ;-)

To get your needle out of its groove, Sam <grin>: The straight answer is no.
At least not for the foreseeable future.
There is now just SO much else out there in 25/28mm from other
manufacturers, and while 15mm (and starships) are still selling so well, I
don't have the time or resources to return to supporting those scales. However
everything in the hobby goes in cycles, so maybe one day it will all come
round again.
In the meantime.... <creepy hooded figure voice on> "Come, my gaming friend,
come to the dark side that is 15mm, we're waiting for you (and we have
cookies!)....... "
<creepy hooded figure voice off> ;-)
Needless to say, happy for the groppo brothers, but I've been hearing a lot of
questions about UNSC ships. Any word? Are they the new squats?

The UNSC will be back, Doug, I've just been so busy with other stuff
- GZG and Real Life(tm) - that I haven't managed to do them yet.
Current plan is that I hope to have the Japanese back this side of Xmas, and
the UNSC early in the New Year.
No "Squatting" here....! ;-)

Thanks, Jon. We all knew you were still snowed from continued catchup on the
backlog special offers, and neither of us want to compare RL
issues. ;->=
If I repeat your comments, I'll underscore the word 'intentions'.
Give me credit, I've not questioned about re-writing of rulesets...

In my case, it's not BAD, just busy, busy, busy..... :-/
For those of you who don't regularly read Dork Tower (and if not, WHY
not??) - you have to check out the current one; it just sums up life
at the moment....

That's good, because I'd hate to have to send another targetted
assassination drone through the shipping wormhole - I'm running low
on them.... ;-)

I'm starting to sound like a stuck record, but... can we expect
anything
new in 25mm?

Okay first, thank you Jon for the update, as well as taking the time to answer
those questions; it's always great to hear from you.
Second: new NAC PA? I've got that 'Larry Leadhead' urge coming on...:)

Fritz is on to something... we should just call it 'Epic/Heroic 15mm'
and get Jon to start being ahead of the curve.... 25mm is the new 15mm! Just
like 32mm is the new 30mm which was the new 28mm which was the new 25mm!
More seriously, With 1200-1500 25mm figs painted, I'm not too likely to
change scales.
I bought some 15mm for zombie games and realized with aging eyes, they are too
small for me to paint. So 15mm will never be the scale for me, despite me
understanding its cost benefits for producers and consumers.
I think it's good that Jon admits this so we don't sit around anxiously
hoping.
I do like some of the 15mm stuff. I wish I could get some of the vehicles and
such in 25mm, but 15mm is the hot scale now for a lot of good reasons
and I'm in true 25mm and essentially a dinosaur now. Not quite 28-32mm,
too big for 15mm. It's the LaBrea Tar Pits of the miniature world....

I bought some Old Glory Africans (under the guise of doing a Hordes of
the Things horde army -- never bothered as I already had plenty of
fantasy armies to choose from) that were supposedly 15mm but looked
dangerously close to the 20mm SHQ and Platoon 20 stuff I have. They are great
looking figs though. I was thinking of painting them up and using them for
skirmishing random warlord fights from the 60s onward.
I think you'll probably see more and more of this as the 15mm vendors try to
get really artsy with their figs.
