	Yeah, 25mm is like 1/69 or so... but their 'page ad touts 'em as
close
to 25mm.

	I was afraid of that, too bad. A buck or so a fig IS pretty
good. The
pics of the 1/300 scale tank on the miniatures page (
http://www.eden.com/~tmp/ ) looks pretty hip, as do the 1/72 tanks from
Reviresco's page ( http://www.halcyon.com/shamrock/ ). I'm really
enamored of the gauss artillery piece ( I have some metal magic
Cybertech gunners with Arty shells in their hands that simply must be
equipped with these beauties).

	That reminds me of the old Heritage(?!?) Octopoids From Galacta
25....

	Well, maybe if I can get a grab-bag of stuff or buy a few
singles. Has
anyone seen/played the rules. A well considered opinion is worth a
lot.....
