Simtac was a miniatures manufacturer based in Connecticut, USA. They produced several ranges for Stellar Games (Nightlife), West End Games (Warp World) and BTRC (Macho Women with Guns) and they were the USA manufacturers of Kryomek and Acropolis Design miniatures, amongst others. Simtac also took over production of the Star Wars range for West End Games after Grenadier Models went out of business. When Simtac itself went out of business, president Martin Fenelon formed MSD Games.
