I play SG2 in 15mm, and there are a number of manufacturers still out
there.
GZG has NAC & ESU figs, in packs of eight for 1.75 pounds sterling.
They're very nice - email Jon about ordering some. No vehicles (although
I
gather GZG used to manufacture some 15mm vehicles) The NAC figs make up
the bulk of my force, and I'll be getting more sometime.
FreiKorps15 has "Aliens" style figs - I don't know what they're like,
but
I've heard good things about the quality of FreiKorp's other stuff.
Anyone
own any?
Irregular Miniatures has a small 15mm sf line - they look a bit Sp*ce
M*r*ne-ish, and Irreg's quality varies, but they're cheap. I've got some
on order, and I'll post a review to the list when they arrive. They have
a
few vehicles, as well.
TableTop Miniatures has a fairly large 15mm sf line - including the only
sf 15mm civilians, cops and starship crewpersons I know of. I just got
their catalog yesterday, so I don't know what they're like - the line
drawings in the catalog look a bit GW-ish, but not much. Also a few
vehicles.
I have addresses for Irreg and TT, and a US email address for a
FreiKorps
distributor. Let me know if you want these.
Anyone else? Have I left any companies out?
BTW - one of the recent issues of Wargames Illustrated had a color photo
of a large 15mm SF battle, from one of the UK cons. Some cool buildings;
the article had a interesting scenario, and it was nice to know that
15mm
SF gamers do get some attention every now and then...
