Zemjw - whilst GZG does hold a range of scales (some 25/28mm and the awesome 1/300 dirt side range - ooh and the excellent full thrust ships) the majority of their awesome miniatures are in 15mm (sorry, great for me not so helpful for you  :? ). 28mm is usually well provided for so there must be some scale suitable equivalents out there - maybe search for lunar threads here to see if anyone playing it have some suggestions
Thanks, I was afraid of that :(

To be honest, I'm not short of suitable vehicles, but I'm always on the lookout for more. I have some Matchbox Mega Rig kits to keep me entertained for a while yet, but that Chinese one in particular looked very nice.

Now that I can see the pictures at a decent size (I was replying on my phone before), I can see the UFO theme there  :-*   I love UFO, and that moonbase is most likely a pretty rare Japanese plastic model kit. From what I hear (and see), it's of a suitable size for 15mm, though a bit small at 1/144. I'd love to build one of these at 28mm!

I'm liking the interceptor launchpads as well; quite similar to how they were depicted in the series :)

The moonbuggies are also really interesting; I was only aware of (an even rarer) garage resin kit at a much larger scale. Would these be 3D prints perhaps?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Yes, the old Aoshima kit is more like 10mm, but comes packed with little vehicles:

EBay prices these days tend to ask ~$160–$200.  But as with any Japanese models, Yahoo Auction Japan tends to work out better, even with high shipping these days.  I've used a couple of different proxy bidding/buying services and generally prefer Buyee.  Saved searches are of course always handy if you want to wait out for items and/or better prices to come along.
 
YAJ works best searching in Japanese.  The 1999, aka Hobby Search, database is brilliant for searching in English, then flip the item page to Japanese to find keywords to use for YAJ searches.  Google Translate is your friend for confirming what all you've grabbed for keywords. 
 
There's one kit up now at a great price, 7,000¥:

Oh that's interesting - if it's the same 'Dark side of the Moon' game that was at Salute 2019 then the rules used were published in MW#440. Does this help any?

Rick - you legend, I think it does. Couldn’t find any photos from Warfare but have found this from 2019. Looks like the same game sans the stilt based walker things…

They are SHADO Moon Hoppers.

They move in shallow hops.
