20mm Pendragon Miniatures: Pendragon has just put out the 20mm catalog for the 20mm miniatures gamer. It costs $2, but lists items from Thoroughbred, RAFM (both vehicles and figures), Falcon, Raventhorpe and Wargames Foundry, all of which are carried now by Pendragon. If you do 20mm, you need to get this listing! PENDRAGON MINIATURES, 1549 Marview, Westlake, Ohio 44145, 216-871-4587 Fax 216-892-5887 Dixon Figures: Dixon has brought out the first items in its Western Desert line. There are some German and British vehicles out, as well as German, Italian, and British infantry packs. These figures are a true 20mm size, and so they are closer to the plastic figures in size than to the 20mm figures from RAFM or Combat Miniatures. (However, neither of those companies does a Western Desert line.) Infantry packs are three figues for $2.99.
