Faron, The poster preceding Jon shouldn't have included the entire AA post;
the above is a different group entirely, I think.

Or, are you indeed talking about Rackham's foray into hard Sci-Fi being
available at Brigades?

I don't think so. I sent the Rackham link because I thought the pic of the PA
looked BA (bad a$$). It definitely reminds me of the PKA (Panzerkampfanzug or
Armored Combat Suit) kits put out by Nitto in the
80's.
I look forward to seeing the figs (hopefully in 28mm).

AND the boardgame they inspired: SF3D. Obviously, in this, you and I were on a
similar line, different from JT. However, the Nitto were smoother,
rounder shapes, and I don't recall any of the helmet-shaped tops. (Wish
I could recall the proper term for the helmet.)

It's got my curiosity up on the Gear Krieg, though, which I've not seen much
of yet.

BTW, I printed the mini poster from the Rackham blurb on our new Tektronik
Phaser. After mostly HP inkjets, this was a shock! I've a friend that's
about to want to thank you for pointing me in that direction. ;->=

No -  the post I'm ref0ering to are the Alternative Armies Sci-Fi (and
fantasy ranges in both 15mm & 25mm).

Wish I knew more about Rackham. Is there a sight with photos of the
sci-fi
yet?

I went to the website listed on TMP and I got multiple java script errors.
Plus it's in French. The only French I know is what they teach German tankers
