In between the rash of 15mm releases we have other things as well, so this week we have two new capital ships to add to our Chinese Democratic Socialist Union fleet.<\/p>\n

The first is the ChengZu class battlecruiser, named for the Ming Emperor Zhu Di. It’s a solid looking vessel with twin turrets and some heavy forward firing Shock Cannon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Accompanying the ChengZu is the Fengzi (wind<\/em>) class Carrier. Although rated as a light carrier by the CDSU, it still carries eight fighter squadrons, although not much else in the way of armament.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ve also reintroduced the CDSU Scout Fleet Pack, which has one each of the new models plus two each of the three new escort vessels<\/a> we released recently, plus 24 fighters.<\/p>\n

SFS-503<\/a> – ChengZu class Battlecruiser – \u00a36.00
\nSFS-511<\/a> – Fengzi class Light Carrier – \u00a36.50
