Don't have any modern/future mini's for ground games.	My friend and I
have
been playing with several sets of middleages figures that he bought out
of
the comic books (you know, 100 figs for a $1...the ones we are using are
the
survivors...)  We used to play on his basement floor until he moved.  It
