Re: [OFFICIAL-COMMERCIAL] More Slammers figs out!

Ah, but some of us love it because:

1) It's my beloved 6 mm scale (okay, I am pretty much pre-MG where mass
is important in a literal sense - anything after the 1870's up to SF has
less useful 'mass' appearance.)  6 mm aka as 1/300th or 1/285th although
the anal-retentive will disagree.

2) I like company (-) actions at least as much as
Platoon/Squad/skirmish/RPG battles.

3) I can include BT packages I have bought on bargain bin or second hand
(Kurita infantry - multiple boxes, proto-mechs selected Mechs...)

I * would * like to see the chits replaced by dice (I like chits but
some
people don't that i game with...)

Gracias,
Glenn
