If Gear Krieg was in 28mm, I'd be on it like a hobo on a hot dog. As it is, in 15mm, I'd be starting over, effectively, in a new scale. I cant afford new british, new american, new russian and new german figures and tanks.

All true, but keep in mind that 15mm is not that expensive.
And maybe it is a good idea just to buy ONE faction at a time...
(OK, unrealistic, the lead mountain has to grow!)

Every scale has its benefits!.

Or just do as Agis and others have done and make it into 28mm. :-)

Exactly! There are so many walkers in 28mm around these days, it is really simple IMO.
My 28mm Walküre was a SdKfz 251 kit plus the legs of a GW Sentinel!

I am really busy at the moment to paint up the remaining Gear Krieg models for the book release.

The line of German walkers is now completed: PzKpf VI Ausführung F “Thor” (DP9s Gear Krieg range) is done!

Just dont ask Agis which scale the SdkFz 251 is from. Seems he is getting old and cant recall all the little details. LOL and before ya respond Agis you may recall i asked ya before which scale it was. You couldn't recall if it was 1/48 or 1/72. LOL U just have way too many kool ideas floating about in your noggin. Need to get em all out and down on paper and let the demons out to play. Still some snazzy stuff i have always said. :-)

Indeed a minor detail...

white knight · « **Reply #38 on:** June 07, 2009, 08:22:38 AM »

Looks like 1/72 to me.

Those're massive jerry-kans

. Excellent work as always, Agis.

Really Nice stuff... I'm sorely tempted by weird WWII 15mm now

. Do the Battlefield Evolution: World at War rules "work" at 15mm Currently? Or will your Gear Krieg add and change some things? (Aside from walkers, etc).

Well...

Battlefield Evolution: World at War was written with 28 or 20 mm miniatures in mind.
As long as your minis are individually based you can use the Battlefield Evolution: World at War rules straight away.
We found that the weapon ranges look in fact more realistic when using individually based 15mm infantry miniatures. If you want to play with smaller tables just use centimetres instead of inches and all will be fine.
Using individually based infantry miniatures is the recommended way of playing Battlefield Evolution: World at War.

If your existing 15mm or even 6mm WW II infantry collection is consisting of group- or multibased miniatures (aka Infantry Stands), a little bit more effort is necessary.
The WaW: Gear Krieg book will give you a detailed "conversion" guide, additional rules and lots of examples of how to use Infantry Stands in Evolution.
(To be honest - these rules worked so well during playtest that I like them now even better...)

Ah, Right-o. Most of my stuff is individually based, so I’ll take a look at these rules and eagerly await your supplement!

The rules are even flexible enough to mix individually based and FoW style based minis!
You will have fun...

Another preview picture of the Gear Krieg book: the mighty T-44 Nicolai Lenin land battleship.

T-44 Nikolai Lenin - In Service: 1940 - The T-44 was a land battleship in its truest sense.
The lessons learned from the T-28, T-35 or T-100 tanks were incorporated in the design of the Nikolai Lenin.
Its wide tracks make it less vulnerable to staying stuck in soft ground.
A powerful diesel engine drove each set of tracks through rugged transmission adapted industrial machinery.
