Be all that as it may, I wonder how many people run games where one
forces 
"6mm" stuff is significantly different in scale to the other forces
"6mm", 
and how gracious people are in overlooking this difference?

One other observation:

I recently purchased an old mini, still packaged, called a "Moon Bus". 
It 
could pass for 2mm OR 6mm OR 10mm, depending on what you define it as. 
As a 
VTOL or GEV vehicle, it looks to be 6-10mm.  As a lander, it's probably
2mm.

Has anyone noticed that using an assault lander model in the same scale
as 
the vehicles makes it take up HUGE amounts of ground?  I was thinking of

using s smaller scale of lander model.	I know it's esthetically less 
attractive to have tank models as large a s the lander "exiting" it, but
in 
terms of ground scale, it seems more practical.  Has anyone considered
this 
issue before?
