[GZG] GZG Futurewars Tanks - Eureka models

Eureka lists the (what I will all the "cat" series of AFVs – Simcat, Myecat,
Wolfcat, Lascat, Sencat, Helcat and Milcat) of 6mm AFVs in the Future Wars
line (usable for Dirtside 2.)

Do these share a common hull?

Is there an APC/MICV vehicle in the 'family' of
vehicles?

How do these relate to the listings on the GZG web store?

And the LASCAT – is a "twin laser tank" one with laser and a second (coaxial)
laser in one turret or a two turret AFV?

Gracias,

There was a comprehensive mix-n-match line of turrets and hulls.  The
"-cat"
were tracked, the "-tor" were GEV, and the "-bat" were grav.  They
shared the same set of turrets, so eg the SPAGs all had the same howitzer
turret on different hulls and names Hellcat, Helltor, and Hellbat.

Sim- or Sym- =MBT
Si- or Sy-  =twin gun AAA/ADA
Wolf-       =light turret MBT
Sen-        =light turret as Wolf- but with short barrel, large bore
"demolition gun"
Hell-       =SPAG

These are the names used by eureka and geohex. In the Feb 2003 GZG update, it
said that GZG was rereleasing the CMD vehicles and now uses different names
and product codes:) There is a fourth hull, wheeled, using the same set of
turrets. This is on the GZG website under the name "Mamba". The GEV hull is
shown in the picture for the "Rattlesnake" on the GZG site. Maybe someone else
can say what the tracked and grav hulls are now called.

The geohex site (via the wayback archive) has some pictures under "Future Wars
Miniatures 1/300 Scale":

In addition, there was a "Triton" series (also pictured on the geohex site)
with a different set of turrets and four hulls, one each tracked and grav APC
with a fixed superstructure, and one each tracked and grav with a spot for a
turret. Turrets included a MICV (small turret & small gun), a medium tank, a
missile launcher, and a twin-gun AAA/ADA.  This might also have been
renamed
and re-coded.  Don't know what the new GZG name(s) is/are.
