if you beat that drum any more, you're going to hurt your drum.  or your
ears.  or something.

let me go on record correcting you here.  25mm is *the best* scale for
SG.
It looks better, pure and simple...

yes, 15mm gets you a much closer figure-scale:ground-scale, yes 6mm is
easier to build armies (for those who are paint challenged), and you get
lots of stuff on the table.

blah blah blah.

25mm looks the best.

so there.

Depends on what you want to use them for.  I use the HO scale Heavy Gear
*gears* as size 1 and 2 combat walkers in SG.

If you're playing 15mm SG you could use them for the same sort of role,
though they'd clearly be larger sizes.

Either way, they're worth getting if you play SG (unless you play in the
6mm scale, though why *anyone* would want to play 6mm SG I have no
idea...)<g>

Now, the *infantry* is a different story.  Again, they're 1/87 scale (HO
scale) which translates to ? in mm.  I'm not sure that it matches *any*
of
the "mm" based figure scales.

The new Geir Krieg stuff is NOT HO scale, it's in "15mm" (done that way
so
people can use the various 15mm WWII suppliers for all the stuff that
DP9
doesn't make).	And the new HG scale is smaller still.	I believe that
they're producing the new HG stuff to match up with "N" scale railroad
products....?  Possibly 10mm...

Confusing, no?
