It is two copies -- my brain obviously had Three of Three Syndrome. The cart description is out of date and will be updated.

We'll need to update the price since the rulebook grew more pages to $9.95.

I kind of figured two was right, but just wanted to make sure (and avoid confusion for anyone else). Full copy of PO-2021 in my cart! Thank you.

By Lawrence Bergen (Lar) on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 - 06:01 pm: Edit

Purchased PO today as well as a few others including the Basic to begin The Warbook File...I was going to wait until the next one came out but could not resist.

What is a Mission Cruiser/Frigate? I don't think I have seen that term used elsewhere.

Perhaps you should check out Hailing Frequencies The D70 was in the latest one.

By John Wyszynski (Starsabre) on Saturday, August 21, 2021 - 06:37 am: Edit

I could not easily find the Hailing Frequencies page. Perhaps it could be put on the main page; maybe replaced the Communique link.

Update: The "Subscribe to Newsletter" is the link on the page. I did not make the association.

I'm picturing the D70 boom on not only the D7E, but because of the additional shuttle bay on the boom, the D7N, D6G, and D6V.

Star Fleet Battles: Module R2 Rulebook Revised for 2021

Shipyards throughout known space are preparing new ships for service in the Star Fleet Universe!

Newly updated in 2021, this is the rulebook for SFB Module R2 covering the Federation, Andromedans, Orions, and Kzintis. With the updates, this rulebook has more than doubled its page count from the original. The rulebook contains the descriptions of such ships as the Federation space control ship and the Battlecruiser New Jersey, Andromedan Anaconda and Asp, Kzinti dreadnought and war destroyer, and Orion Double Raider and famous OK6 cruiser.

There are nine scenarios in this rulebook. Diplomatic Immunity (SH67) has Federation Fleet Captain Kosnett facing Orion pirates. The Flawed Trap (SH68) has the Federation springing a trap on unsuspecting Orion pirates. Surprize Fight (SH69) was written by a player from Scotland (hence the spelling of "surprise") and presents a faceoff between the Federation and Romulans. To Do Our Duty (SH70) has the Federation facing Klingons. Attrition Assault (SH71) has the Federation defending its battle station against a Klingon attack. Ain't No Free Lunch (SH72) has the Kzintis leading the Lyrans into a trap set by the Kzintis and small Federation force. Slipback (SH73) has a substantial Klingon force, including G1 gunboats and Y-ZA fighters, facing a Federation force with 24 fighters. A Tangled Web (SH74) has Andromedans attempting to collect information on the Tholians. In the Hate to Make Waste (SH75) scenario, the Federation attempts to destroy an Andromedan satellite base. Little did the Federation know the base was defended.

This product provides additional ships for use in Star Fleet Battles. You must have the SFB Basic Set to utilize this material. You will need SFB Module C2: New Worlds II (or the SFB Master Rulebook) to use the Andromedan ships. Some of the ships require the Advanced Missions set or the SFB Master Rulebook.

ADB Releases Ships for September 2021

On September 1, 2021, ADB released 17 new items to its shop on Shapeways, which has over 2,750 items available in total. This month we focused on the Carnivons and Jindarians. We also introduced three new tanks. Please note that all miniatures are available in both 3788 and 3125 scales, except when noted.

Historically, the Carnivons were wiped out by the Kzintis and Lyrans before they got to the era of the "Modern Age." If they hadn't been, they would have continued to evolve their ships. These ships are described in Star Fleet Battles Module C6. The Carnivons gain their Light Cruiser, Police Corvette, and Police Flagship. There is a sprue of two Police Corvettes with a single Police Flagship in command. In Omni Scale, they get a gunboat/PF flotilla with four "regular" gunboats, a leader, and a scout. The Carnivons also get their Builder Collection in 7000 Scale. This collection of six ships contains three of the most common Carnivon hulls (two light cruisers, two destroyers, and two frigates).

The Jindarians gain their Destroyer and War Destroyer.

And then there are tanks! These are all in 285 Scale. The Gorns have their Ssikg Tanks, the Kzintis have their Tigerpaw Tanks, and the Andromedans have their Legionnaire Tanks.

Check all these out here: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/amarillo-design-bureau-inc

Warehouse 23 just informed me of the R4J rulebook being updated, getting that shopping cart ready! (Though waiting on CO-2021 before hitting Buy.)

Star Fleet Battles Module R4J Available from Multiple Sources

Romulans Got Warp!

From the earliest source material, it was noted that the Romulans developed warp power later than other empires. This title explores five alternate timelines, each triggered by a singular event, that result in the Romulans gaining warp technology at the same time as everyone else. With the Rulebook and SSD book, you will find the detailed history of how the Romulans discover warp power early, ship descriptions of their new ships, four new scenarios, and 55 new SSDs.

The 46-page rulebook includes descriptions of dozens of new warp-powered Romulan ships and also has the following scenarios: Internal Security; External Intruders (Romulans and Orion pirates), New Neighbors (Romulans and Klingons), Practical Experience (Romulans and Tholians), and Supply Raid (Romulans and Gorns).

The Star Fleet Battles Module R4J SSD Book is available in print and as an e-book. As an e-book, you have a choice of the original black-and-white SSDs or the color ones. The 56-page SSD book from Star Fleet Battles: Module R4J has SSDs for the new warp-powered Romulan ships. The ships include the "W" warp-refitted ships, "Y" Early Years ships, Middle Years ships, and modern ships (warships, Police ships, and National Guard ships). Please note that the PDFs do not include images for the die-cut counters included in the complete print module.

This product provides additional ships for use in Star Fleet Battles. You must have the SFB Basic Set to utilize this material. Some of the ships require the Advanced Missions set or the SFB Master Rulebook.

Federation & Empire: Combined Operations 2021 Available

Marines and Prime Teams and Combat!

Combined Operations has more rules for Federation & Empire. It is newly improved and updated, having gone through extensive review and discussion during Stratcon 2021. All rules questions from ADB, Inc.'s BBS and Captain's Log issues have been addressed to provide the best experience for every empire.

This product includes many new concepts (stasis field generators, electronic warfare, light tactical transports, monitors, special units, and Marines), which enhance play value by providing players with new ways to destroy their enemies. New economic factors include commercial convoys, base stations, and PF storage depots. You can take the fight to the planet with ground combat, including special attack forces. Prime teams can help in combat or aid in capturing a ship, along with other abilities.

And there are scenarios galore! Koval's Lightning has Klingons and the Federation facing off; Thunder over Kzintai has Kzintis, Lyrans, and Klingons; The Hydran Expedition has Hydrans trying to get to Federation territory without being stopped by the Klingons; The Wayward Wind explores what would have happened if the Coalition had attacked the Hydrans first, rather than the Kzintis; Reptilicon Revenged has Romulans and Gorns; Cold Front can be used as a training scenario with the experienced player commanding the Hydrans and newer players commanding the Coalition; Tholian Gambit has the Klingons facing the Tholians; The Late Kingdom explores what would have happened if the Hydrans had to start the General War by reconquering their territory.

You will need the Federation & Empire 2010 Rulebook and various countersheets to use this expansion.

You can download the Combined Operations Rulebook from these sources:

Warehouse 23: http://www.warehouse23.com/products/ADB3207-2
DriveThru RPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/370211/

STARMADA UNITY CONTINUES IN PRINT

We have released Battleships Armada Unity, the fifth book in the new edition. This edition unifies the previous Nova and Admiralty editions, so there will no longer be Starmada fans who cannot game together. The new rules preserve the best of both previous systems and add dynamic seeking weapons rules that do what seeking weapons are supposed to do: force the enemy to move out of key areas or shoot his way through a swam of them. In the future, the sixth book in the series, RUMORS OF WARS, as well as additional books, will appear in the Unity format only.

Because we want to bring all Starmada players together, we're making Unity a free PDF upgrade for anyone who bought the Nova or Admiralty editions of this book. Nothing was wrong with either edition, other than the fact that it was harder to find opponents who played by the same rulebook. That problem is now solved.

If you bought a PDF of either the Admiralty edition or Nova edition through Warehouse 23, DriveThru RPG, or Wargame Vault, then your PDF library now contains the original older Nova or Admiralty edition you bought AND the new Unity edition we're giving you.

Get your copy of Battleships Armada Unity from the following sources:

Warehouse 23: http://www.warehouse23.com/products/ADB6135
DriveThru RPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/333219/
Wargame Vault: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/333219/

Anyone who bought a hardcopy of Battleships Armada Nova or Battleships Armada Admiralty can get a free PDF copy by contacting us at marketing@starfleetgames.com. If you want to replace your hardcopy Nova/Admiralty book with a hardcopy Unity book, we'll sell you one for our cost ($8, less than half price) plus shipping. Hardcopies of Nova/Admiralty books will no longer be available but you will be able to buy hard copies of the new Unity books from ADB, Inc.

Get your print version of Battleships Armada Unity from either your local game store or direct from ADB: https://www.starfleetstore.com/starmada-c-89/battleships-armada-unity-p-1303.html
