SG-1 and Andromeda

1) Thanks Derek. Problem is that after a conversation with Nic, unless one
specifically requested 25mm figs, most of the 100 club stuff is 28mm. Kind of
dwarf my 25mm mercs or NAC.... (You could use the US SF figures Eureka is
producing instead but that defeats part of the goal). I should order a couple
just to see how they'll work.

The real trick would be finding some 25mm figures for modern with FN-90s
or MP-5SDs and wearing PASGT and body armour/LBE....

Thanks for the suggestions for Ja'far. I'll have to see about finding
something that will work in 25mm.

2) Andromeda is a fair size. She carries slipfighters, missiles, etc. so I
think one could argue for a pile of MTMs, SMs, PDS, and fighters. That isn't a
small ship. Probably Heavy Cruiser size minimum. As to how to represent her
manouverablility, I'd run Andromeda as a cinematic ship while running the
others as vector. That would give a bit more "out turning" capability.

3) Comet's Battlestar is all right, but too small IMO (can't justify
more than light carrier status in my books). If it was 50-100% bigger,
that would have been about right relative to the other GZG ships. Or at least
that was my thinking, and the basestars would be larger. If I was making these
for FT, I'd be casting them in resin so they weren't too
expensive/heavy.

Is it just me or does the Eureka US SF very much resemble VOR Union troopers?

I have been sufficiently corrected. I forget her size when I look at her,
she doesn't LOOK that big to me.  Still, a point was made by a non-list
friend of mine that she relies too heavily on launched weapons. I'm still
waiting for PSP suggestions....

And I'd be buying. :-)

Too bad 1/35 model figs are too large, you could use Tamiya's SEALS,
Special
Forces, or D-Boys...

True.  In B-5 Vector seems truer to the show, but in Andromeda, I'm not
sure. Either option should work.

I was under the impression that it was the other way around, after all the

"Now for the first time Eureka Miniatures puts you in the driving seat.
Working on the sound premise that for every one person that might request a
particular 25mm figure there are probably any number of others who would be
willing to purchase said figure, Eureka introduces the 100 Club."
