RE: 25mm and the herresy of **mm

I know i'm lagging here just it takes so long to go through all the
messages
on this list...

i happen to own a 5mm Evagelion (well, its about 5mm scale, working off
the
size of the damn thing in the anime). It stands about 19 cm to the top
of
the shoulder blade, carries a gun with a magazine the same size as a
tank
and looks hell-cool. Now THAT is a 5mm figure. comes pre-painted too.
eventaully i plan to get it out and go around squishing Derek's massive
hover-tanks with it, but thats in the future. it looks really impressive
when it stands next to a 25mm figure.. and dwarfs it.

Well, I'm safe from that. I now have a house but have no spouse.
Sadly thought I have many things that were my mothers so space is
rather constricted at this point....

Company sized battles are nice in 25mm (closer to 100 figs) but a
battalion sized game in 6mm/1:300 is really nice. Combined arms is
where its at....

No beer, it spoils my concentration...But yes to coffee or tea.
