Principes for WAB

 A unit of 15 principes. They are 15 mm. Cromarty models upscaled to 28 mm. Next will be a few Triarii.

On the left there is a 15 mm base for DBA.

It seems the 28 mm models look better than the 15 mm.

Carrier Command just released!

Carrier Command is the new supplement I wrote with John Cunningham to play with Fighter Command, and where you can be in command of a Capship instead of a space fighter. 

There are also new types of weapons and ships as well as electronic warfare, much detailed rules for capships and two campaigns; one narrative with fifteen encounters, and another generic that can be played over and over and which includes eight generic encounters.

You can buy it in Two Hour Wargames and I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

From the THW site:

5150: Carrier Command

The "Big Ship" supplement for 5150: Fighter Command

Scale: 1 model equals 1 Capital Ship or Fighter/Bomber.

The bottom line is you can play it any way you like, with any models or counters you like.

Inside you’ll find:

• Fifteen scenarios linked together in order to tell your story as the Commander of the Star Carrier Daedalus.
• Fully compatible with 5150: Fighter Command, our Fighter based space combat game.

5150 FC Star Carrier

I bought this carrier from Hobby Link Japan to be my fleet's flagship for  playing 5150 Fighter Command. I am planning a full campaign using this carrier as my personal ship. It is 24 cm. long approximately.

The carrier next to a Silent Death plastic fighter for size comparison.

Here you can see the deck with fighters on it. There is another deck below that for landing fighters.

These three ships plus P&P from Japan for 13 €. Bargain!

By the way, I am sorry to say that I cannot answer to any comments on my blog, nor I can publish on someone else's blog so far because for some mysterious reason my messages disappear when I hit the publish buttom. I hope the problem gets fixed soon :(

Review of 5150 Fighter Command

5150 Fighter Command is the first ruleset I write for Two Hour Wargames. What I tried to do with this ruleset is giving you the chance to fly a star fighter just like you did in the PC game Wing Commander. In case you never played that game, just imagine how it would be flying a Star Wars X-wing or Interceptor and you will have a very close view of Fighter Commander.

Here you have two fine reviews of Fighter Commander. One by the WARGAMING ADDICT  and another by  DELTA VECTOR . 
Many thanks to both of them!

Hishen reinforcements

I ordered three ships from the Yamato/Star Blazers serie to Hobby Link Japan for just 13 € including P&P! They have an excellent customer service and packaging and I recommend them.

Well, here you have the two small ones of 12-13 cm. long, but the big one, a carrier, is 25 cm. long. I will paint it next and post a picture of two next to these babies.

I painted these two ships with the Hishen colours as I did not have any Hishen Capship. They will soon participate on a new campaign I am designing and which be released as a future supplement for 5150 Fighter Commander.

Reinforcements for Fighter Command.

I just finished the last batch of plastic Silent Death fighters that I am using for 5150 Fighter Commander. After this I will start with some capital ships I ordered to Hobby Link Japan.
Soon I will start a new campaign with all these ships.

Este es el último grupo de naves de plástico del antiguo rango de Silent Death que estoy usando para jugar a 5150 Fighter Commander. Después de esto pintaré algunas naves grandes que pedí a Hobby Link Japan.
Pronto empezaré una nueva campaña con todas estas naves.
