Anybody know if the original conception of Phalons was 'Ft only' or was there
ever any talk of their inclusion in StarGrunt or Dirtside? I know the ships
have been described as 'Snails' but are the ships built to imitate their users
in form? (Function follows form, perhaps?) Anybody have an official
description of what they look like (captured bodies after a space fight
<Grin>?)

Any plans to make them in DS scale? IIRC, they aren't on the unofficial GZG
web page I visited yesterday on a different computer then this 386 dinosaur
(no browser software. Thank the Lord for Libraries and after hours at work
(well, just minutes lest you upset the IT people...)

Is there 15mm or 25mm?

Well, from the catalog, GZG do a range of 25mm Phalon ground troops -
infantry and 3 vehicles - Recon Pod, GEV APC, and GEV Light Assault
Tank.

Description: Bipeds but with extra joints in limbs, head is dominated by
a large, 3-lobed eye (like the Martians in the 'War of the Worlds'
movie).
Equipment is semi-biotech (like their spacecraft)
Infantry weapons are described as 'pulsars' - smaller version of ship
weapons?

Hope this helps a bit.
