Subject: Gurkha Figs
When the Gurkha figs were being spec'd out (we were negotiating on poses etc with Nic/Mike), we spec'd that they'd be a bit smaller than the NAC. They are stockier (a bit) out of consideration for how easy it is to destroy some NAC figures (the old style ones.... Jon's newer ones are more robust with thicker legs and ankles) but they are a bit (noticeably) shorter than the average NAC figure. This was an intentional design character point as was using NAC firepower. Tomb. PS - I notice everyone is rushing to defend their country again, even though war has not been declared. This is a natural response for many of us who have worn the cammie jammies (goes with the indoctrination/motivation), but maybe we should all just chill.... the US, though hardly the saviour of the universe on a white charger, has done a lot of good out there (IMO). It's had some good moments and some bad. I think Sr.Tuffley said "There are no good guys" in the GZGverse, by that meaning every country acts in what it perceives to be its own interests of the moment. That's true in 2183, was probably true in 0083 and will probably be true in 10083.... <climbs down off soapbox> Lighten up, go grab a beverage of your choice, and lets go back to discussing sci-fi games with neat little metal figures. It's less likely to get anyones intestines in a twist.
