My guess, without knowing the actual figure size, is
that that depends on what other figs you have and what
"size" you call them. I have always been under the
impression that DS2 "Sizes" WRT figures were fairly
relative based on their relationship to the player's
other figs, WITHIN REASON. A lot of this is because
size class and capacity are pretty nebulous abstracts
of real life, they're only concrete in their
relationship with each other.
For instance, I use a GZG grav tank fig that, in
comparison to my other forces, is a class 4, but
compared to other figs from the GZG line would only be
a 2 or 3, *IF* you presume the Io is a class 4. So my
figures are smaller per class than figs used by others
- but they're consistent in regards to the other
figures I use, and they're logically incremented once
you understand how I'm basing the size classes. I use
GHQ BRDM's with SA launchers as class 2 with twin
GMS/H. My class 4 vehicles are comparable in size to
modern line (like GHQ and C in C) MBT's. Class 1's
are TINY. GHQ VAB's are class 2-3 depending on
function. Other people might call them other sizes,
and I would have no problem with that, as long as I
could look at one next to THAT player's other figs and
approximate their size in comparison.
