Something else I’m looking forward to next year is the publication of these new fleet scale space wargaming rules. I’ve played a fair bit of Full Thrust in the past but these rules look really different and intriguing, at least from the outline on the rules website.

They only need a handful of ships to start with, mostly merchants, gunboats, frigates and destroyers, with some fighter stands and a single big warship, so a minimal outlay is required. I have some Brigade Models Amrep ships that I never got round to using too.

It just so happens that the Brigade Models online shop has just reopened, so this week’s pocket money may well be spent on more ‚ooh shiny!‘ spaceships instead of more Aeronef. They’ve added lots of new models to the range since I was last around, so I’ll be like a kid in a sweet shop!
