You may have something, though there would be a STRONG argument for the 25's
being too small, not too large, if you follow Foundry and other's lead in
following the EE(tm).

Certainly, everyone wanting everything in three scales is a logistic nightmare
to try and fulfil. Individual figure addtions are one thing; copying whole
lines obviously involves numbers of moulds, storage, and
cataloging to boggle the mind. Ergo my tongue-in-cheek '15mm Kamarov',
though you have to admit it's an intriguing concept. ;->=

I'm sure there were many reasons, Mr.Siebold; certainly figure quality(and the
rep thereafter) at the beginning ended up being a drain til the end. The
figures WERE expensive unless you compared size and complexity to much of the
competition, and you have to assume a lot of folks came to B5 Wars newbies. I
certainly have never made a secret of how difficult I found the rules to
understand. I'm sure others can, if they continue OT, will, make suggestions
for the above list.

Still, your fighter comment suggests some truth to Mr.Hillsgrove's comment.

And AD&D figs came out in 15mm, and though sought now, appear to have been a
failure, while no threat to the 25mm range.

My impression is that now the Superior 1/1200 are mostly display models
with many other companies focusing on 1/2400; I'm hoping to do that with
my several of my large AoG ships, if I ever get them painted up. Not that
1/1200-Dogger Bank on a quiet Sunday morning in an empty mall or factory
parking lot isn't a thing to behold...

Have you ever tried doing FA with large B5 Wars ships?
