Sounds familiar! :lol: I'm addicted to space ship combat games. The first actual "miniatures wargame" I ever played was the original Star Fleet Battles when they released the old Starline 2200 miniatures to go with it. Since then, I've collected fleets for lots of spaceship games...

The Feds are very well done although I was wondering about the domes on the warp nacelles? They appear to be black in the photos, rather than the glowing red/orange they are typically done in. Are they not finished, or was that a deliberate choice for some reason? Other than that they look...

Thanks, ctchapel! 8)

Thanks for the update, Jean! I know I'll be ordering at least one of each of these as they become available, and multiples of a number of them! I did have a question about these two, though. I don't have access to all the background info in the big SFB rulebook, so I was wondering exactly...

Fair enough. Personally, I'm more excited to see the Hydrans than either the Lyrans or Orions, but that's probably at least a year away so meanwhile I have plenty of time to work on Orions, Tholians and Lyrans. :wink:

Wow! Has the ACTASF crew totally abondoned this forum? :( I do like the look of the ship! I'm looking forward to the revised rulebook and the next wave of miniatures releases. :)

Another great AAR, Kyrolon! Loved the text and the photos (espeically the cat in the captains chair!). :lol:

Loved the AAR! The pictures were great and I really enjoyed the first person descriptions of the action. Very exciting! :D

Well, ADB has been making metal miniatures for SFB and FC for as long as the company has existed, so I'm fairly confident of their ability to manage the operation now. My impression is that Mongoose pretty much cut loose their ACTASF demo teams after the reorganization. I would expect any...

I like it. Nice variation from the existing 1, 2 and 4 pod freighter minis.

I'm not too hung up on the actual, numerical scale of the bases (given that a true in-scale base isn't really practical for most games). I'd just like them at least slightly larger than a dreadnaught size ship. 8)

I would dispute this, as the 2500 model prototype shown by Mongoose (like every other 2500 model) has significant surface detail that the 2400 model lacks. I'll admit the issue with the resin is a fair concern given the issues with the material in the initial run of 2500 miniatures, though...

The rule books and supplements from ADB are available in this format (loose leaf, unpunched), too.

It does look like he has removed the "module" detail from both the Sparrowhawk and Skyhawk to make room for the wing decorations. :|

Very nice work! Some excellent looking Feds there. :)
