RE: 25mm and the herresy of **mm

Ever seen some Battlemechs stomping around 15mm terrain? Fits in nicely,
as
I had a Timber Wolf (the one on the front cover of all the games)
standing
the middle of a village, and it looked damn nice. Of course, then a tank
group came in, the Timber Wolf blew one away (despite lots of big guns)
and
then the tanks got three boom chits... so there was now a nice big
15mm-scale crater there instead. Which goes to show that no matter the
scale
of the game, stuff still gets blown up.

Piffle. 6mm matches ground scale.  And you're *supposed* to be hiding
something--see also "deception", "camouflage", and so forth.
