Just a thought and question at the same time, how are the sizes and scales of the air assets going to work out? Will they be the same scale as the tanks, infantry etc.. in which case they are going to be rather larger for a 6x4 setup. A 1/72 scale Cobra is already about 20cm long, so something in 28mm/ 1/64 is going to be about an 1/8 larger again. JSFs, Typhoon's, Raptor's etc.. are larger themselves, pretty much covering the area of 3-4 tanks, that's quite a lot.
Size/scale of air assets?

The air units will be to scale with everything else. Which makes me quite happy

Dang, that looks spot-on Dorb. You sure it's 1/48th?
The Super Cobra and Future Lynx will be in scale with the rest of the range. No decision made yet on the jets.

Why a cobra for the USMC anyway? Its one of the oldest attack choppers we have, why not an apache or comanche?

They couldn't get an Apache accurately statted that wouldn't dominate the battlefield, adn therefore be insanely expensive pointwise.

Apache - $$$ and i think the USMC likes the smaller size of the Cobra for transporting (key word = think )
Commanche - canceled a few years back
anyway the Cobra today is a different bird to what it used to be, twin engine, 4 blades and i think it now has a glass cockpit (no to sure about the last one)

Not when you factor in the unit card and the very funky flying stand. We don't expect to sell them in huge numbers, but they are going to be something you'll want for your army. . .

Hmmm... not to be a party pooper or anything Matt, but as it stands the price for BF Evo minis is already on just about the very upper edge of what Im willing to spend on minis and I know ALOT of people who simply wont get into the game due to the price of the minis. Expecting people to pay even more just because something has a card and a nice base is slightly wishful thinking....
If the model is truly awsome then it MIGHT be worth 30 quid but if these prices keep going the way they're heading it's getting dangerously close to the territory a certain other large games company who I wont mention (but they make games. In a workshop...) tread in terms of pricing and alot of people specifically prefer other miniaure games over them due to the price.....
Speaking for myself, I love BF Evo, both rules and minis and have bought a few so far. If they had been SLIGHTLY cheapear even to the tune of 3 or 4 quid a box I would have bought LOADS more (I will I dont doubt buy more in time anyway but as it stands I'm fairly certain the high price point is the single biggest off putting factor for many many people).
As a specific example, I know at least 3 or 4 people at my local club alone who would probaly jump on the game like a shot and like the minis, theyre just not prepared to pay that much for them!

Here, here!
I have a 1/72nd Tornado, phantom and Tomcat from an old Del Parado partwork (World Jets or something) that gave away a free model with every issue. They are about as big as I would want to go with jets.
That Blackhawk is a bargain, though....
