We're running a 6mm Stargrunt scenario at GenCon this year. It should be
interesting to see how that turns out. On the other hand, I like playing
SG2
with 15mm figures using the 25mm scale. The figures take up a bit less
real
estate on the board, which makes them easier to place and use. The
figures
don't have to crowd each other too much. They also look more
"realistic". That
having been said, my "Operation: Dust Off" scenario looks not too bad in
25mm.
