I just got another David Drake newsletter.
So Jon, where exactly are those mini pictures anyway ?

The Hammer's Slammers miniature project proceeds apace in Britain.
I've now received the first 25-mm figure for approval (which I
enthusiastically gave it) and a bag of tiny little weapons. The detail
is incredible. GZG will begin selling them fairly soon, though the sales
website [http://www.gtns.net/gzg/] didn't have pictures when I looked at
it. The vehicles (from Old Crow, but I believe GZG will be filling
orders) are moving right along also, though here I've only seen jpgs.
The game book with rules and history which Iain Dickie will bring out
has a complete text by John Lambshead and I believe complete--and
excellent--text layout by John Treadaway, but is waiting for the figures
and vehicles which will be photographed for the visuals. A reasonable
release date is Christmas, 2003.
I'm much more excited about this than I'd have expected to be.
The people I'm working with--heck, the people who're /doing/ the
work--are amazingly good. I haven't done any miniature wargaming myself
since 1966, but I'm delighted by the skill and enthusiasm of the folks
involved.
