Now, I don't want to throw foundless accusations around, (especially 
not if they're directed at someone with an army.mil e-mail address 
;-)) but over on the rec.games.miniatures newsgroup the site you're 
plugging is the worst offender for posting ads into totally unrelated 
threads, I hop we're not about to see the start of that on this list.

Short answer: There aren't any.

Longer answer: First, do you mean the older Future Wars miniatures or 
the new Dirtside ones? For the former there are no stats, but the 
miniatures are very generic anyway.

For the latter, the stats for a handful of them are given in the 
appendices to the Stargrunt rulebook. (The Vehicle stats for a SGII 
vehicle and a DSII vehicle are nearly identical.)

A list of those miniatures with stats given are:

DSM 101 (SF25-93)  Gauntlet hover APC - NSL LKPzW VI   page 68.
DSM 104 (SF25-86)  Phalanx APC	      - NAC FV202      page 68.
DSM 105 (SF25-88)  Hoplite MMRV       - NAC FV701      page 68.
DSM 106 (SF25-89)  Hunter MMRV	      - NAC FV703      page 68.
DSM 112 (SF25-28)  Wombat APC	      - FSE/OU AGCI-5B page 69.

And that's it. You'll have to invent the rest of the stats yourself.

	Cheers,
