Re: Starship Troopers

Avalon hill did a board game based on the book (way, way, way before the
movie and CGI series came out).  I have a copy.  It did a fairly good
job
of capturing the feel of the book for combat, especially where the bugs
were concerned.  The MI are tough hombres (and hombrettes), but the
bugs,
if played well, can manage to take them out by swarming.

Did the announcement for the game include the figure scale anywhere?  I
did't see it from reading through...
