Yep, changing the scale of movement and fire is a quandry. I went with doubling and some distortion since I want to use BB's. Using x4 would mean the table would have to be to large for me. Thanks, John

David, I am unaware of any of those in plastic. Sorry, John

Thanks a BUNCH for the help guys! I really appreciate it. Thanks, John

Ok. Here's my first try at posting some 1/700 pics of Japanese and US ships. [/img]
