I was thinking about purchasing this, but it is in 10mm. I am just getting into 15mm gaming and was curious what more experienced gamers thought about it. would 10mm buildings and streets make that much of a difference?

I have not seen it for real but the Dropzone miniatures are way too small to get away with in Gruntz. Even the things which you think should work like the mechs and aircraft just look wrong. So if the terrain matches these which it should I can't see it looking well. There are lots of reasonably priced 15mm buildings on ebay or unless you really want a full city lay out try building up a few buildings at a time the critical mass games buildings are not cheap but look really well.

I have not seen them in person, but I would assume they would be too small.
Most 15mm sci-fi are actually a little bigger than "true" 15mm - put some GZG figures next to some Flames Of War 15mm infantry and you'll see what I mean.

I presume it's a PDF so scale it up by 50% then print it out. I saw these at Salute this year and they looked like a high res print so I can't see a problem with a 50% increase. I think they have a few free ones on there site to download so see if they work for you  |

Hey there,
have a look at my post (Vince' not-PHR army) in the gruntz gallery. Those are commercial-style buildings from the Hawk Games download section. They work fine, IMHO. The residential buildings will need a bit more suspension of disbelief as their floor height is a bit smaller. They work for me but you can tell they're not quite right.
I don't really know about the street tiles shipped with the cityscape. I imagine those really are too small, for vehicles at least.

I think the 10mm would be too small for 15mm gaming. I like those nice building they do which look a bit "Blade-runner" like. I do think they would adapt OK for 6mm.
