Got a glimpse of Project N today

Well, it looks like the announcement for v3 is just as successful and on time as the old ACTA line products were...
The plastic ships were all small, as in most of them would fit nicely with the old Fleet Scale minis. The Metal ships have a good size difference as well, with the dreadnoughts being as big as the Omega or similar sized ships.

Shooooot...and I'd so been hoping this would have been the Nall of Nthulhu: War among the Stars, with the space squids carriers, and tentacled fighters. I guess Noble Amarda will have to do. At least I have those books handy and won't have to go down into the cellar for my fish scale encrusted copies of Nthulhu Space Battles books.

They are all metal this time round (allowed us to tweak the designs slightly), but there won't be any more broken flight stands, as they all use our ball and socket joint stand!

There were a couple of issues with other parts of S&P, and Nick is working like a demon to correct them all this morning. You can start the countdown now

No, you're not wrong exactly. I have played ACTA 1st Edition and a little 2nd. I haven't been around on the forums for a long time, though. I'd just like to see ACTA introduced to a wider audience and the second thing that got me into the game (beyond liking B5 first) was that I could buy it and play with colourful counters which looked like the ships they were supposed to be representing. This meant i could play the game a lot before buying a single miniature. I know Mongoose want to sell minis, and more power to them, but i'd like to mthink this wasn't the only way to play the game.
It's up!

Looks nice. I"m guessing there will be a new section on the forums for NA threads?
*never mind, I see that you've got it up already.*
And will there be Vorox forces to play?
Thanks!msprange said:
The photographs of the minis are very pixelated and do the miniatures a great disservice, any chance we can get better quality images of those miniatures in the article? I'm trying to whip up some support, but the quality of the 'promotional' material isn't winning anyone over ;-)
Could you indicated what's included in the Fleet boxes? And are the miniatures in the same scale/size as the ones from Holistic Design/Agents of Gaming?
How much support can we expect for this line? (And the question you don't want to hear, for how long?)

We'll go through the fleet box set contents very soon. And yes, they are the same scale as Holistic's designs.
Quite happy to hear it
Like the old CTA, we have oodles of support planned, such as wandering demo teams, tournaments, S&P articles, new ships and fleets - and at the bottom end of 2011 the first supplement covering, among other things, the Church and alien races.
As for how long, that very much depends on you chaps. We have no big film studio above us on this demanding their pound of flesh on a regular basis, so as long as you chaps keep playing, we'll keep supporting!

The stuff in S&P looks intriguing. The only issue I have is that I've taken some care in mixing and matching the scales from B5 Fleet Action and B5 ACTA (and unofficial BSG models) to get a better relative sense of scale between my ships. If the new range is all 'big size only' and out-of-scale I'm not sure how interested I'll be in picking them up.
