1/50th is damn near perfect for 28mm gaming!

How annoyed would they be if someone asked to conduct a 1-1 siege of Jerusalem game?

Why can I picture a half-dozen of my gaming friends hanging  from steerable body-rigs like the one Tom Cruise wore in "Mission Impossible", so they can move troops around inside the city walls?

It's impressive eh?

I'd be happy to sneak in there one night and add a dozen satellite dishes and a few posters like this

That's really impressive - but it would be a pain to move figures in the middle of the 'table' around!
