A while back, I mentioned that a local hobby shop still carried some of the
older, larger Gears. A few people expressed interest in them. Tomb got
hold of me and I helped him buy some. Here's what's left when last I checked.

FWIW, The Southern light artillery make really nice towed light arty /
anti-tank guns in scale with Stargrunt 25mm figs. And many of the
Southern gears (and the arty pieces) are done in a style that looks quite
similar to NAC Power Armour.
I have a battery of three of the guns done up to use as mission
objectives/scenery. I run a scenario at conventions where one side gets
the guns (not used in play) and crews for them, with two light vehicles
(jeeps) in support - about 12 figs. The other side gets several squads
of troops who are sent in a "deep recon" mission to find and kill the guns.
The battle is between the gun crews and the raiders. The gun crews get to call
reinforcements after they first make contact with the raiders (spot them, or
get shot at), and the raiders have to get in, blast the guns, and get out
again before they are cut off.
Fun scenario, and the artillery pieces make great "set dressing" for a table.
Of course, if you were playing a lower-tech force (colonial militia, or
something) you could use them as *actual* anti-tank guns (like the towed
guns used in WWII), and build them into a scenario. I don't think that the
more "advanced" powers would be fielding towed guns... Again, though, they're
nice pieces.
I don't, unfortunately, have pics of them done yet...
Sometime soon, and they'll appear on stargrunt.ca

Thanks for the input adrian. For anyone interested, I'm not looking to turn a
profit on this, it's just a favor I'm willing to do for listers.
