It's nice having the small Ogre ruleset, but I don't get the same
feel from a hex-based game.  When I buy a set of rules with mini's
I want to play "measure it with a tape" type game.

The miniatures are very nice, the Combine GEV's look more like
Grav vehicles.	That's probably what I'll use them for in DSII.

I'm also going to be odd, I'm going to order the DS rules Friday,
I'll probably immediately retrofit them with SGII armour penetration
and damage rules as I really like this system and am not thrilled
with chit drawing systems.
