A while back (a couple of years ago) we were asked by a rules writer if we could produce a base for spaceships that could accommodate two of our small six-sided dice. This we duly did, but unfortunately the set of rules in question didn’t seem to go anywhere.<\/p>\n

\"SFS-302-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, we still have the mould and thought that it sill might be a useful item for other games systems. The base (shown here modelled by a German Dortmund class battlecruiser<\/a> Scharnhorst) is a solid metal item, 28mm across flats so larger than our normal flying stands<\/a>, and is supplied with the same type of plastic post. It’s solid enough to provide a very stable base for a large spaceship and has two side-by-side recesses to hold a pair of the small d6 from our Accessories range<\/a> (dice are not supplied with the base).<\/p>\n

\"SFS-302-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This type of base would be useful for marking speed or acceleration, damage or shield values, altitude for aircraft, or anything else you could think of. Or just for keeping bigger ships upright !<\/p>\n
