Steve Jackson Games Forums - View Single Post - Lore Question: What factions use what minis?

Remember that when the game first came out all the counters had the same unit silhouettes, one set white on black and the other set black on white. At least one printing of GEV had blue and white counters.

During the Factory States era the blocs were much smaller than Paneurope and the NA Combine.

Mix and match unit designs and colours however you like. When (if) we get Combine plastics I suppose you could even mix the two styles in the same force if you wanted to.

It is often suggested that the minis on the table represent holotank displays which are in heraldic false colour to make units easier to distinguish from one another. In that case the actual units might even be painted in drab camouflage schemes.
