    2mm is a little thin and the model slips around on the Ares peg. 2.5mm is nearer I believe. Or 2mm with a couple of coats of paint!!

    Trivial aside: Based on some concerns Andrea had about my proposal for a simple color-coded "expanded altitude" mechanic, I'm toying with the idea of suggesting some extra-thick, triple-height pegs as an alternate solution.
