First, I found an old printout od the TMP announcement that Force XXI
was
going to introduce 1/33th Sci-fi vehicles line.  Since I have no access
right now to a web browser, can someone tell me a) Did they release such
a line?  and b) So what does it look like?

Second, I have some Dirtside II specific questions I want to ask those
who game this kind of battle in "6 mm - 1/300th - 1/285th scale".

Background - I use Brigade models as the standard for most forces in
Dirtside II:

DS 2 has vehicles in 5 normal sizes (1 being very small, 3 being medium
and 5 being very large.  Also there are "oversize" units (essentially
huge size 6 and size 7) plus the Bolo-esque "Modular" Oversize vehicles.

I will use the old/new Iron Cow names for the vehicles where they
existed
before Brigade became IC-centric.

For size 1 I use some old GHQ and/or C-in-C WW1/WW2/Modern vehicles that
are smaller than brigade stuff.

For Size 2, based on Brigade stuff (Length, appearance of 'mass' and
just
plain old 'this looks bigger') I place the Nirit/Hyane (assume umlat [?]
over a), Gaby/Giap, Aliya/Javelot, Beersheba/Oldmann vehicles.

For Size 3 (it gets a bit gray here) I placed Hanit/Lynx (had to choose
3
or 4 and it 'looks' smaller than other size 4s') and Eliat/Baumann.

For Size 4 I chose Buffel, ??/Elliot, Lahav/Thor-Sigurd, and
Haifa//Boyd-Doherty.

I use the Wildebeest figures as size 5 (the Buffel could be a 'small'
size 5 perhaps.)

I haven't sized the Baldur and Joturn models yet.

I have some GZG, Scotia and Irregular that range from size 1 through 5. 
I will have to pull the old catalog for GZG to see which the older and
newer lines of figures I have I have.  And some 'second hand
unidentified' vehicles too.  And some modern 'conversions' - Sheridans,
Abrams, M60's to start...

Where does Brigade's Montsabert/Gloire, Tassigny, Zhu de, Xia Fang, Mao
Zhedong, and older ??/Feng Doc, ??/Wespe, ??/Caribou fit in size wise?

Any comments on size for specific GZG, Brigade, XXI, Irregular, Scotia,
and other vehicles welcomed.

Gracias,
Glenn
