lowlylowlycook Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 According to the North Star newsletter this is an Osprey space ship game by the writer of Gaslands. Color me intrigued. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPete Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I've heard a little bit about it (mostly that it's space ships and combat) but not much more than that. It's on my watch list, so to speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fnordlover Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I've been following the designer's blog a bit. http://abillionsuns.space/category/design-blog/ I'm very interested it it. Even though I still haven't gotten to play Gaslands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Froggy the Great Posted January 26, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2021 I playtested an earlier version of this pre-covid and I'm awaiting the book with bated breath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Khan Artist Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 The March issue of Wargames Illustrated has an article on the design and creation of this game by its creator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlylowlycook Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Picked this up. It's a pretty wild game given that there is no pre game list building and it's played on 2-4 tables. Also a lot of decisions to make as to what to do on a given turn it seems. I was thinking of using this as an excuse to pick up some ships from dropfleet comander but it seems those aren't cheap even when in stock. Similarly it wouldn't be inexpensive to expand my Star Wars Armada collection. Probably I should instead pick up a second aeronef fleet and use those even if it's a bit off the beaten path as far as theming goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aestivalis Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I built a decent amount of ships for Full Thrust back in 2000, all made of bits and shields from Gundam models of various scales. I think I might also still have some of the old original Eldar ships, and some unbuilt Babylon 5 ships that I got on clearance. And being an anime nerd, I definitely have most of the small Space Battleship Yamato ships released for the remake of the series (and a few of the older ones too). Plus, my buddy who is into 3D printing showed me some cool ship designs by One Page Rules. So I am fully stocked if I decide to get back into starship warfare. But I will need to repair a few of those flight stands... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aestivalis Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I don't know that much about 3D printing yet, so here is the product page so you can check for yourself https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-progenitors-fleet-188136 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
