The setting is near future exploration of a gate to a world where dinosaurs survived and evolved intelligence (some of them at least). <br />Game scale is platoon skirmish, i.e. Infantry figures and smaller dino's based in fire teams. Vehicles and larger dino's as separate models. <br />Model scale is 10mm. I would have preferred 15mm or 1/300th but I'm not doing the sculpting. We have some prototype models ready.
