[GZG] RE: Blue Sky Thinking [sec=UNCLASSIFIED]

For sci-fi gaming, I do much prefer 15mm.  Mostly to do with the ground
scale and 15mm is better for those of us that are optically challenged
to
paint figures.
I also have over 20 packs of traveller 15mm (still in blisters) when I
cleaned out a warehouse in 1995 + another 50 or so figures that need
stripping second hand.

Its also a lot easier to use 15mm on deckplans (and SJG offer many of
their
deckplans in 15mm last I looked) or even on 25mm deckplans as you can
really
pack the figures into close quarters.
