The funny thing is that now that I know there isn't anything to wait for anymore I'm getting out of hibernation and starting to figure out what to do with my SST stuff... I will buy whatever I can from the local store as they sell out their stocks and I will finish my MI and Arachnids armies...

How about going a bit further in the future and do a Cthulhutech miniatures game! Also, a Hammers Slammers era mini game would suit me just dandy!

Will the new edition plastic figures still be made from that hard to glue hard plastic or are you changing to softer plastic (that can actually be glued with plastic glue)? That was one thing I didn't like with your SST line. Not that it stopped me from buying your stuff or anything, but all...

Oooo. I see I was a bit hasty on my reading. SST is coming back! Count me in "I'm doing my part" camp again!

Q3, 2008?! Well, now I won't feel bad having started to collect Flames of War armies if we won't see anything from Mongoose over 10 months! I was gonna do my part, but now... meh.

Wow! You must live in a very different universe than the rest of us... I haven't seen any "Heman... Mind Police" stuff here. All I've seen is MSprange not wanting to say anything before all things are really going fine and all deals are done. Then he can say what's up with SST. Mongoose just...

This info from playing the AvP games (PC)... Colonial marines have motion detectors. So I like the "use tunneling markers for cloaked predators" -approach. The marines would know the predators are around because as soon as they move they would show on the motion detectors. Perhaps a...

I used to own lots of Warzone figs (which I got rid of when HB went bust). Granted, I'm working from memory here, but warzone minis are the same heroic scale size than say, GWs IG figs. So no, they are not the same size as BF:evo... And that's the whole point here. I have had the opportunity...

Have you seen BF:evo figs? They are true 28mm. Way smaller compared to GWs so-called heroic 28mm. Everything in the BF:evo is porpotionally smaller than SST or GW figs. They just do not compare well... The figs are not just shorter, but their heads are smaller, weapons are smaller, limbs are...

Ruleswise the two games might fit, but the fig scales are way off right now... BF:evo = 28mm SST:evo = 30+mm(?) Right now the bf infantry and CAP troopers look stupid side by side. Even the LAMI are too big. I kinda like how the tanker bug and plasma bug look even bigger than before when...

There are morale rules in the game... Namely, suppression. When the bullets start hitting your position, you keep your head down instead of doing your work(eliminate the opposition)... morale. And if the squad leader boughts it, there is a momentary confusion among the ranks... again, morale...

Now that I've seen wave 1 minis (that were supposedly bad paintjobs, but in real life looked good enough for me to be happy about them), the paintjob for wave 2 looks even better... I have no doubts anymore. Now let us see the SAS!

Ok, I went to the local store, who had on display EFTF, MEA and chinese figs. My impressions on them: 1) They are much smaller than I expected! I thought them to be about the size of SST figs. They are smaller. It was a shock at first, but I got over it fast. I'm ok about the size. The only...

Now these are the level of painting I expected in the first place. Not brilliant, but not too basic either. I will be very happy at this level of finished product.

Thanks for the reply. I value WYSIWYG on the figs because it makes playing the game so much easier. No need to commit my few brain cells to remember who is in charge of the squad or who has which equipment! :)
