Am I in an even smaller minority who want 15mm stuff for SG II?
I use TTG's Laserburn Imperials for Free Cal-Tex and want cool vehicular
support. Hello, anyone there??.......hello!
:-{
Ps I use the short inch (ie 15mm = 1 inch) to get a better table scale. I know
its the same as in 25mm scaled down but it looks better. Sprayforming

...no, but I have half a ton of starships and 15mm historical/fantasy
stuff to paint first...

I'd love to se more smaller scale stuff for SGII. 15mm or even 10mm.
15mm scale scifi miniatures would be nice to get hold of (especially the old
15mm Traveller PowerArmour). It works better with scifi weapon ranges than
25mm.

Me too!
15mm would bring it much closer to ground scale. And I could get more figures
for my dollar too!?

I'd quite like to see some 15mm as well, though why I want to start
collecting in yet another scale is beyond me. ;-)
Actually the SGII groundscale is smaller than the DSII figure scale. (1:394
compared to 1:300) so switching from 25mm to 15mm won't make that much
difference really, but in our minds?

No, that is what the Californians would have you believe. Texas was a separate
province of Spain, before the independance of Mexico. After their independance
it was one of their least populated provinces, which is when they started
advertising for US citizens to come down to settle. But enough about history.
When are we going to see an OoB or minis for
Free Tex-Cal troops ;-)

I love 15mm or anything close to it
I use a lot of the new Heavy Gear miniatures. (at least the soldiers
I'm also hoping that they do figures for the gun platforms in HG (heavy Gear)
and I do a lot of "converting" building my own stuff using parts of different
figures ( i do some with FT too)
my favorite is to use 72 scale models even though they are not quite to scale
they are close enough and do wonders for building your own stuff.

including though i hate to say
GW minitures that had lead bases (much like Ralpartha..)

no there are two states between texas and california
texas was formed from it's own independent country the "republic of texas"
from the dispute with the mexicans
and was later admited into the US as a state

I said "to paint first", mind. That is, before I can reasonably

current stuff - including a large box of 6mm plastics, which would
mass a ton or so if it were metal - before I do it!

I think that the new heavy gear minis are great for 15mm i think that they are
a little big.. but not much..

Well, they're supposed to be HO scale, which is about 20 mm. So they
*are* a little big for 15 mm scale... it's not just you. ^_-
> And where do you get your infantry figures?
I thought about using these but the variety of poses are poor and for the cash
I'm not to impressed with the details.
The Northern forces get two types, heavy weapons (a rpg/gms) and a saw.
The troops all wear NSLish armour. The designers ahve bottled it for the secon
type. The second type are regular infantry with small arms, except (the cop
out) the designer has moddeled them wearing a greatcoat (Russian style)
covering the body armour. I wouldn't mind but these are not cheap minis. The
Southern forces are similar to the noth except they all wear greatcoats.
I'm not too impressed.

...Well I have a lot of TTG 15mm Sci-Fi (IMHO a very good range for
...starship crews as well) Only a few duds; and they do guard dogs as well
...as civilians!
Also
...GZG 15mm ESU & NAC (I will be using as LLAR mercs)I want Jon T. to do...the
NSL std. trooper so I can buy truck loads!
And
...A.A.'s 15mm Crusader troops (these are actually more like 20mm but the

Vehicles I want in 15mm are APC,s GEV or Grav prefered,but as always based
on merit of mould! (I can always cut off the wheels and use Mili-put)
