Just as an FYI... I was at an open house last week, and I saw the Status: RO people from Rafm. Due in the near future are some really nice Silent Death ships--including at least one that is going to make a great Space Satation for FT, and some kind of space worm that is going to make a nice Sa'vasku supership for those inclined towards such things--, but what caught my eye was the release date for the Heavy Gear tanks. December '97 is when the Klemm and the Hun light tanks are due. Both are tracked, with two different bodies, both have small turrets, and both have rocket launchers--the Klemm on either side of the turret, and the Hun as a box on the back of the tank. They look GOOD. I don't even have anything in that scale and I'm thinking about making a purchase. The prices, by the way, are listed as TBA. And the Mammoth, which is a HUGE figure of a Strider (25mm 'mechs, anyone?) is due this month, at $39.95. And on a (mostly) unrelated note...has anyone else read Haldeman's "The Forever Peace" yet? And is anyone else thinking about writing up some "Soldierboy" units for DSII?
