RE: Babylon 5 Miniatures/Rules Manufactu

Yes I have seen the B% micromachines here in the UK. My youngster has
the   
set with the very poor B5 the Vorlon transport	plus others. This he
uses   
at the age of  7 to soundly rout me at FT!!!!

Theres a role-playing game coming out too.  Not from the same people
though.

What size are the ships going to be?  I didn't see any reference to
it the last time I looked.  Are they likely to be the same size as
the micro-machine B5 ships?

Talking of which, have any of you in the U.K seen the new B5
micro-machines yet?  I certainly can't find them in Ireland yet.
Uusally when the U.K has them so do we.
