This goes along with the SJGames Ogre miniatures discussion as well.  I
can't find a picture on the SJGames website, but I seem to remember the
Deluxe Orge package having infantry bases that allowed placing two or
three
infantry figures on it, and then removing them.  Is this correct?  If so
has
anyone used them in SG, or would this work?  I would like to get into SG
but
I don't have the space, money, or painting skills to go 25mm.  This may
be
odd, but I've always preferred a nice hexmap to actual miniature
terrain.
I'm thinking some of my Battletech maps and some 6mm figures would make
a
decent play area, and not take so much room (efficiency appartments are
kind
of small don't cha know).
