That 'guy' would be Ben Chicota (sp?), owner of the elusive Pontoonier Miniatures, based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  I spoke to Ben at Cold Wars, he said that they are making a concerted effort to establish a web presence, after their previous attempt went pear-shaped.  Ben was supposed to be at Salute, as a guest of Paul Hicks, but the volcanic cloud scuppered his plans and he went to Little Wars instead.  He is supposed to be at both Historicon and Fall In.  I don't know the status of his Mongrel Miniatures stuff, though he did have some at Cold Wars.  Ben did say that he had was working with a UK vender to distribute in the UK but I haven't heard anything further.

Indeed. Pontoonier has been promising a new website for something like five years now.

That's why I haven't heard from you Tomas on the Zil!

Okay guys, I need MM Syrian heavy weapons pack! Who has a spare pack lying around? I've stacks of MM Syrian infantry, but no support weapons.

I just wish that someone would say one way or the other the future of MM instead of leaving folks with half collections in their holdings.

Best wishes,
