RE: A interesting sample from Eureka

My thought, sight unseen, is to bring it in line with the APCs in the
Dirtside/Future Wars lines. The miniature would be more versatile it it
fit
with the other ranges. Especially if planning to bring the other
Slammers
vehicles into 6mm. 

That being said, I do also field BattleTech vehicles (as size 5
vehicles)
that are much larger than the Dirtside/Future Wars line.
