It depends on your table size. Our local store has a 12'x6' table, so we
didn't need to reduce the scale for a nice, big game (10 squads per
side,
plus "air" support from straffing Tie Fighters and A-wings, as well as
Shuttle Tyridium landings -- several other MicroMachine releases are to
scale with the figures).

The scale has a nice feel with the smaller figures.

Yup. They're all available. Good, simple game.
