They are closest to 20 mm - remember the old Airfix/ESCI 1/72nd-or-so
plastic figures? A bit too large for true 15mm, too small for 25 mm. I
haven't checked them against the new Heavy Gear infantry, which appeared
to
be about 20 mm.

I use the regular West End rules, not even modifying the scale. But they
could be used with any rules.

At this price ($4-$5 per squad), they're cheap enough to be used on
their
own. I must have between 15-20 squads now, enough for really big games.
And
there are plenty of troop types to choose from.

I give them a grey wash to bring out a little detail.
