Re: SG in 15mm

I'm really wringing my hands over the various scales right now. I have
now painted
up fairly large forces in 25mm (Company of Kra'Vak, a couple platoons of
NSL, a
platoon of OUDF/NAC, plus various extras, plus a platoon of  these other
non-GZG
25mm marines) and I've got more in the pipeline (a platoon of Jaegers,
some Mercs,
and some PAU) The problem is I want to do some near future stuff and
there's
virtually no modernish looking figures in 25mm. ANyway these figs really
are great
for FMA also.

Then there's 20mm I have a fair amount of 20mm WWII (Brit, Ger and UK
paras) plus I
juts found a great site with all kinds of 60s-90s 20mm, ('specially
Africans and
Portuguese) but virtually No SF in 20mm. Weird. 20mm works a little
better for SG if
size/scale ground/figure issues matter.

Now I don't have any 15s but see the value in them and would like to
jump in and get
some but then here we go again starting from scratch with a  whole new
scale. Yeesh
a wargamers work is never done. (Plus there is a lack of 15mm troops it
seems). I'm
a fan of big battles for SG2 else FMA fits the bill (up to a platoon if
you do it
right).

SO what the heck perhaps time to take another plunge...
