Firstly, a quick word about orders – obviously I’m back from my holiday (and very pleasant it was too), and have been casting away in the workshop on the order backlog that built up while I was in France. However, this is rather larger than usual and is taking me a while to get through – currently I’ve managed to complete orders up to the 21st, so I’m running about six days behind. By the end of Monday I should be able to clear everything that’s still outstanding, and by the end of next week we should be back to normal.<\/p>\n

We still have room for a new release however, since Phil made some moulds while I was away.<\/p>\n

Our Squadron Commander<\/a> range of models is based around the ruleset of the same name, originally published by the now-defunct Mariner Games, but now owned and maintained by us (you can download the latest Reheat<\/strong> edition for free here<\/a>). The models are all made to 1\/300th scale, which means as well as providing a great game of interstellar starfighter combat, they are also perfect as ground support for our 6mm Sci-Fi range of vehicles and figures.<\/p>\n

Today we’re adding new force options to those available – both the South African Confederation (SAC) and the Pacific Federation (PacFed) get two brand new fighter types each.<\/p>\n

For the SAC, interceptor duties are handled by the Hamerkop<\/strong> heavy interceptor, while the Petrel<\/strong> multi-role fighter can be equipped with heavy anti-shipping missiles or pressed into surface as a fighter with short-range dogfight missiles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The PacFed’s two models are the Sea Wasp<\/strong> heavy attack fighter, and the Weta<\/strong> light interceptor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All models are available individually or in flights of four with bases. The arrival of the PacFed also allows us to create a starter pack pitting them against the Indonesians – this pack contains four of each available model for both sides, a total of sixteen fighters, plus the latest rulebook on CD in PDF format.<\/p>\n
