You wouldn't happen to have tried any of their 1/2400 Ironclads? (again
with the Austrians) Their 1/6000 line looks very nice considering the
size
and that you can fight a battle on a decent sized table. Argh, another
scale, another period :)

Excellent line (esp. since I also play CoC and am getting into various
colonial/VSF games). I hear the sculpter has some new figures out under
Pulp Figures http://www.pulpfigures.com/ but I've not seen them yet.
Reviresco also makes some decent cars and figures for the period. (good
price as well) Including a certain Police Box and a Martian Tripod...
Sorta On topic note: Um, You can always CoC beasties as various aliens
or
alien beasties. And I'm sure The Doctor is messing around somewhere,
sometime in the Tuffyverse. And I think somebody did a Aeronef/Airship
conversion of Full Thrust. Aeronef the game was inspired by Full Thrust.
(ironclads tend to make good Aeronefs)
>- Old Glory 15mm American Civil War
I normally play ACW using armies from a friend who used mostly OG's.
Very
well done and he's got enough extras left over for me to have a nice
brigade or two...(gotta luv 100 figure bags o_O)

Pretty scary how close this gets to the real thing! Now if someone could
make a Clark A. Smith Poem Generator...
