The different scales are undoubtedly an issue with "Star Trek Attack Wing", but I think the smaller constitution-class looks great alongside the U.S.S. Enterprise-E. I'm also hopeful that at some point "Wizkids" will produce a Doomsday Machine model for the game. For now though, I can send you the Organised Play PDF if you want, so you can see how it operates in STAW and 'convert' to your own rules? I'd certainly be interested in an article as to how you make one :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-53012239948189487402016-10-14T00:58:30.810-07:002016-10-14T00:58:30.810-07:00Very cool, Simon.

I only hope that if I do I have better luck than the last attempt to come down South, to see Clint and Ray on that occasion. <br /><br />The blooming gearbox of our van destroyed itself and we had to scrap the vehicle - Meant I had to miss three shows I was planning on going to. Most inconvenient. The family probably was put out due to the lack of transport, as well. But that pales in comparison when compared to me missing out of toy soldier purchasing opportunities :)) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-57452697675367445222016-10-12T05:28:37.608-07:002016-10-12T05:28:37.608-07:00"well, that was succinctly put, if nothing el..."well, that was succinctly put, if nothing else" - and very much appreciated Roy.

Sadly as a non-Trekker you're going to have to put up with a few more of these over the coming months ;-)<br /><br />As for the ships, well I think the new Galaxy-class repaint is much better than the old blue-grey version, and I also like the noticeable scale difference when compared to the older Constitution-class vessel; something "Wizkids" were actually panned for when the model was first released and subsequently addressed with the U.S.S. Enterprise (Kirk's Refit) which is disconcertingly the same size as Picard's starship.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-22785018207227596842016-10-12T03:52:37.476-07:002016-10-12T03:52:37.476-07:00Not being a fan of "Star Trek," (sorry!)...Not being a fan of "Star Trek," (sorry!) most of this flew right over my head but it certainly looked good (those Federation ships do look good) and as long as you had fun playing it, nothing else matters.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-88064624101117113772016-10-12T03:50:51.728-07:002016-10-12T03:50:51.728-07:00Thanks Gordon.
