Federation Commander: Gunboats Attack Now Available in PDF

"Captain, there's a flotilla of six gunboats headed for us."
"Shields up! Arm all weapons! Red alert!"

The small, scrappy gunboats make their way to Federation Commander. Weak individually, in a flotilla of six, they are a match for a cruiser and can damage a dreadnought enough that it won't just buff out. In some ways, they are eggs armed with sledgehammers.

This title includes a 16-page rulebook, including rules, ship descriptions, and eight scenarios. There are 15 new gunboats and a new monster. Banshees are found in hordes, looking for sites, preferably bases or anything slow-moving and poorly armed, to build breeding nests. There is a scenario for a solo player featuring these creatures. Be sure and defend your base, or you will have even more banshees to fight against! Of course, there are the images you need to create your own counters.

This product provides additional ships for use in Federation Commander. You will need one of the entry-point products (Klingon Border, Romulan Border, Academy) to use these ships. Either the Reference Rulebook or modules introducing more empires are useful for the ships from those empires.

This title is only available as a PDF.

I note this is a PDF product; will there be a physical product with counters and laminated ship cards?

Eventually , but not any time soon. Maybe a year or two. We won't be printing a batch of counters this year, not sure when the next batch will be.

Would it be possible to make the physical ship cards available? Like a single pack or multiple packs.

I would really like to use the quality ship cards that ADB creates.

In addition, I think it will cost me a lot more money to go to Staples and have them create the laminated cards.

I will look into it, but these days it costs ten times as much per card as it did when FC first launched. It would cost $24,000 to print the cards and I'm not sure it's a good investment when sales would be "spare parts" rather than "new product".
