Flagship Games, creator of "Mecha" is apparently selling a new 25mm SF
skirmish game called "Omega Warrior".

OW appears to be very much in the Starship Toopers vein, with REALLY
powerful Powered Armor -- the typical battle seems to have no more than
two
or three PA suits on a side. In one of the battle reports upon their
page,
a 4 man squad of PA wipes out an 18 regular infantry without working up
a
sweat. There are not going to be dedicated figures as far as I can
tell,
but they say that it can be used with any SF miniatures in existence.
As a
matter of fact, the battle that I mentioned above uses (and gives proper
credit to) GZG figures -- NSL PA vs. NAC regulars. It looks
interesting,
but I've never heard of it before.
They are also working on a generic space combat game called Starship!
and
they will produce miniatures for it. They are claiming that it will be
a
true 3D environment, using their "Battlepoles". I suspect that ships
will
be resin, and a bit too big for FT, but you never know -- the pictures
seem
to bear this out, though.
