...and, while RAFM is admittedly slow in the production department(*),
the models they've released are more than enough to make several dozen
different Gears, with varying levels of conversion. They're *not* going
to release different kits for each Gear type; that's silly, when many of
them are a simple weapons swap away. (Though I also have a couple-k
text file on how to make a Chatterbox... that one takes doing.)

As for "only two sides"... there *are* only two sides. (The Paxton
Gears are rip-offs of the Norht & South; just combine bits....) You can
also mix in infantry and tanks for a very interesting game.


Hmm, guess that one hit a bit of a trigger; but then, I've been enjoying
my games of Heavy Gear recently, so....

(*)RAFM currently has three production lines running at capacity, but
doesn't have the capital to buy a fourth. Bit of a problem, there.
This is why GearKreig (WWII w/Gears) is being delayed, until the minis
are ready....
