Once you actually play them, they're fine, but until... There's a local group that's playing a lot of DBA and I have a box of figures waiting (Many are cleaned and primed as well... ), but... I made my resolutions to get Godzilla and Hoth going first... Tas, I love the DBA Dinosaur lists... very cool!   Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. _________________ 6mm Sci-fi: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/6mm ... nWarGames/ My Personal Blog: http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/

Hi Lou, CC: Is there any info on your Hoth project? Yes, here's the plan: I've been working on a couple of 6mm sci-fi projects lately (21 May 2005): -------------------------------- 1. Battle of Hoth: PLASTIC KITS & MECHWARRIOR GAMING PIECES: I have been assembling a Hoth force using a mixture of AMT/ERTL/MPC Battle of Hoth action Scene figures and cheap Mechwarrior Clickie-tech TM figures. 10mm METAL MINIS: Several manufactuerers do make 10mm metal miniatures including Reaper's CAV, AOG's OOP GROPOS, DP-9's Heavy Gear and others. CHEAP MECHWARRIOR 10mm FIGURES: I like some of those 10mm metal miniatures but went with the mix of plastic model kit figures and Mechwarrior clickie figures because they were extremely affordable. I can get Mechwarrior Clickie figures for a US Dollar or less a figure and often for a US quarter or less. Most Mechwarrior figures come with three to five infantry on them and when I cut them out and base them on 3/8", 1/2" or 3/4" inch fender washers then they really go far. STANDARD FENDER WASHER BASING: I have based them either singly for partial squads or in multiples (3-5) for heavy squads. Heavy weapon teams are based on larger fender washers to fit everyhting. ODD INFANTRY BASING: The plastic AMT/ERTL/MPC Taun-tauns fit pretty well on 1/2" fender washers. Most heavy equipments (Imperial E-web repeating blasters, Imperial AT-ST walkers, Rebel Atgar defense lasers, Rebel Golan Defence Turrets, Rebel heavy repeating blasters, etc.) are based on 3/4" or 1" fender washers. AT-AT BASING: The AMT/ERTL/MPC AT-ATs have custom bases to fit their elongated walker forms. AT-ST MODELS: I'm using a mix of the AMT/ERTL/MPC AT-STs and Micro Machines AT-STs. REBEL SNOWSPEEDERS: I'm using a mix of the AMT/ERTL/MPC snowspeeders and Micro Machines snowspeeders. ECHO STATION: I am using a customized Micro Machines toy base for Echo Station. REBEL GENERATOR: I am using the vacuform generators for this piece. I may use some pieces made for my 6mm Epic minis as well. REBEL ION CANNON: I am using a piece cut off my Micro Machines toy base for this model. REBEL STARSHIP FLEET: I am using a mix of AMT/ERTL/MPC Millenium Falcons and Rebel Transports as well as some Micromachine Electronic Collectors Edition Rebel Blockade Runners (Corellian Corvettes) for the Rebel fleet escaping Hoth. RULES: I have been playing with either using the WEG "Assault on Hoth" game rules or a DIRTSIDE II adaption. Both have pros and cons. I have also tried a few home-brew sets. RESOLUTION: I made a New Year's resolution to complete this project this year (2005). That's one of the reasons I started this E-group - SSSW ? SSSW (Small Scale Star Wars) Wargaming - to help me share ideas and keep me motivated. URL for SSSW: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/SSSW/ DS-II ADAPTION / RULES: I've been modifying and editing the document found here for an improved trial run of the rules. I've run the scenario twice and enjoyed it, but the scenario could use a facelift: http://www.cygnusx1.info/ds2/multiverse ... p#vehicles ----------------- (Located on Page 59 of this blog... )

I'm basing infantry and Taun-tauns right now as well as trying to figure out how to base the AT-ATs...

The AMT/ERTL/MPC AT-ATs are pretty arge and awkward...

My current measurements for a base for them is a 1&5/8" x 3&5/8" rectangle. I'm going to need to custom-mke it no matter how I go. It's simply a big unwieldy piece.

I'm also playing the WEG "Assault on Hoth" game to keep inspired and think of how I want to structure my rules. I like DS-II as well as the WEG game, but I think I'd be best off writing my own rule set. I want something simple enough to run at a convention with multiple players.

I'm thinking of up to five players for the Imperials (x1 AT-At per player as well as other forces with one player controlling General Veers) and around the same number for the Rebels (x1 player for the static defences and the other four Rebels would run Snowspeeders with one player controlling Luke.).

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
