More releases for Halo: Ground Command and Halo: Fleet Battles from Spartan Games...as well as version 2.5 of the Dystopian Wars rules...

Evolution! This month we continue our releases for Halo: Ground Command and Halo: Fleet Battles, enhancing game play and adding new iconic ships.  At the same time, over in the Dystopian Wars world, our beautiful new 2.5 rulebook is released as well as the arrival of a new nation, the mighty Republic of Egypt. Read more about our exciting June release.   We continue our mission to bring new dimensions to your tabletop gaming!  Read on to find out more: New vessels join the Spartan Halo universe!     Our June release sees the addition of the iconic UNSC Phoenix-Class Colonial Support Vessel to the Halo: Fleet Battles game. With the usual Spartan attention to detail, the 2.5km long monster is ready to fulfil its wide-ranging role in the Halo Universe supported by three Pelican boarding craft.  We are also releasing the Covenant Blockade Runner, sold in pairs along with ADP escorts to test the UNSC forces to the limit.   For Halo: Ground Command, we've listened to customers who love the game-scale Phantom and Pelican models but find their sheer size means they are hard to transport and cannot stay on the gaming table. With this in mind, we've created stunningly detailed 1/300 versions of the models that can be used in place of the gamer's basic Shadow Templates.  Not content with this, we've also added two more vessels: the mighty UNSC Longsword Strike Fighter and the sleek Covenant Seraph Strike Fighter.    Fans of Halo will undoubtedly recognise the unmistakable profile of the Phoenix-class Colonial Support Vessel, the most famous of which is known by the name Spirit of Fire.  Our version brings UNSC players a new Large size model with which to assemble their fleets.  The Phoenix-Class Colonial Support Vessel is sold in a blister of 1 model with three Pelican boarding crafts, each with an acrylic flight stand and peg, 1 statistic card, rules and 2 overlay cards.     This old warship has been reconditioned for use in battle. But do not let its age fool you, the Covenant Blockade Runner is a formidable medium sized vessel used to strike fast and hard against the enemy. In Halo: Fleet Battles we deploy the ship either solo to a formation base or escorted by an ADP.   The Covenant Blockade Runner is sold in a blister of 2 models, each with an acrylic flight stand and peg, and also comes with 2 ADP Escorts, 1 statistic card, rules and Overlay cards. The Phantom Dropship is a classic silhouette from the Halo Universe and one commonly seen during the video games sweeping in to deliver ground troops.  Sold in a blister of 1 model, with an acrylic flight stand and peg, 1 statistic card, assembly guide and ground attack tokens, the 1/300 scale Phantom Troop Carrier can be substituted for the shadow template to bring the model to the tabletop during game play.   The Pelican is an iconic flyer in the Halo Universe, used to deliver everything from Spartans to Scorpion Main Battle Tanks to the battlefield.  Sold in a blister of 1 model, with an acrylic flight stand and peg, 1 statistic card, assembly guide and ground attack tokens, the Pelican Troop Carrier can be substituted for the shadow template to bring the model to the tabletop during game play. The Longsword is the UNSC's Strike Fighter offering and takes pride of place in the Halo Universe.   Sold in a blister of 1 model, with an acrylic flight stand and peg, 1 statistic card, assembly guide and ground attack tokens, the UNSC Longsword Strike Fighter can be substituted for the shadow template to bring the model to the tabletop during game play.   The Covenant Seraph Strike Fighter is one of the coolest flyers in the Halo Universe and one commonly seen during the video games sweeping in to destroy enemy targets.  Sold in a blister of 1 model, with an acrylic flight stand and peg, 1 statistic card, assembly guide and ground attack tokens, the Covenant Seraph Strike Fighter can be substituted for the shadow template to bring the model to the tabletop during game play.   Click here to order your Halo ships now!    Dystopian Wars 2.5 is here!  Our new Core Rulebook is a collector's item, a beautiful tome ready to grace the shelves of any of the protagonists in our Victorian Era Science Fiction game.  As explained in a recent post by Spartan Josh Le Cheminant, at 272-pages, our newly redesigned Dystopian Wars 2.5 Core Rulebook embraces a number of exciting changes and additions which deliver even more excitement and gaming depth to the tabletop.  Key enhancements include the streamlining of key game mechanics, the addition of a fully-fledged Campaign System, the Fleet Action Fast Play rules, Commodore rules and more.  The book also includes over 70 pages of Background materials detailing the Spartan Sturginium World and the nations fighting the bitter world war! This is the perfect introduction and companion to the world of Dystopian Wars.  Available as a Hardback and Softback version. Click  here  to order your new rule book   Egypt Returns!    After years of civil war and unrest the Republic of Egypt has emerged, ready to join its allies in the Dystopian Wars bringing with it the promise of new conflicts in North Africa and the Middle East. The Egyptian military, supported by government funds generated from agriculture and the sale of valuable antiquities and its ally, the Kingdom of Britannia, has rebuilt and re-armed with a new fleet of powerful ships including battleships, support carriers, cruisers and frigates.   Battle groups are on the slipway now, ready to join the fray, so get ready to deliver more punch and speed to the tabletop! As a skimming force, this Battle Group of 30 models can be deployed on land or sea and with its aesthetic paying homage to ancient Egypt, is not only devastating but looks stunning!

Both are fabulous add-ons to your Halo Fleets and as ever we have lovingly crafted them to be canonically accurate.  And if you like these two models our next pair of ships are sure to set your gaming imaginations alight! This Autumn-class Heavy Cruiser represents a considerable leap forwards in human warship design, and is a testament to the UNSCs technological prowess and industrial resilience. Using improvements and modifications made to the Halcyon-class light cruiser for Operation: RED FLAG as a starting point, the naval architects at SinoViet Heavy Machinery have added energy shield-reinforced armour, powerful fusion drives, long-range targeting matrixes, and a state-of-the-art magnetic accelerator cannon. These new weapons and systems are continually being improved to give the UNSC a competitive edge in battles against Covenant remnants and other threats that may yet arise. The Covenant Carrack Merchant Cruisers are relics dating back to the foundation of the Covenant, recovered from fleet ossuaries to fight once again as ships of war after its dissolution. Though ancient in human terms, the Carracks' reactors still burn with the fury of caged stars and their hulls shimmer with nigh-unbreakable shells of energy. In the modern era, they have found a role as versatile cruisers and carriers, reinforcing naval battle groups and transporting armies under the flag of a dozen factions and would-be warlords.   Click  here  to get your Cruisers now!   STAY CONNECTED:
