A little small -- at least for what they're named. A "destroyer" is just a touch smaller than a War Rocket Class 1 fighter (judging from the base the creature is mounted on). Still, those would work nice for some smaller space monsters.<br />I almost ALMOST went with the Flying Tigers paint job, by the way. Almost. Glad I didn't try it, on my first go, at least.<br />I couldn't suggest anywhere specific spots for a newbie. Hydra plans on starting a forum for War Rocket, hopefully sooner than later. You might try this thread over at TMP which talks a little more about War Rocket: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=206730<br />This TMP thread also has a little bit about the game: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=206853Evilcartoonisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601323279665213451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353993238228420112.post-35946996476850328892010-09-17T23:35:52.340-05:002010-09-17T23:35:52.340-05:00That is one impressive fleet !

There should be a real cash prize for the first person to paint a War Rocket squadron with Flying Tiger imagery.<br /><br />3. I'm not really familiar with fleet games in general - the 'no book-keeping' got my attention - can you suggest a good link for a newbie?scottszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327316054801308727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353993238228420112.post-12259803525039165162010-09-17T20:09:51.277-05:002010-09-17T20:09:51.277-05:00No reals for space monsters (yet?)

There is nothing "Star Destoyer" size, though there are rules for a Zenithian (saucermen) mothership (including a scenario) as well as for making space fortresses, space stations, armed asteroids etc. So I could see the potential for much larger ships- though they'd be next to impossible to destroy (unless you had rival vessels, or LOTS of torpedoes, or a ventilation shaft and one torpedo.)Evilcartoonisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601323279665213451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353993238228420112.post-29591453076597449942010-09-17T15:45:56.634-05:002010-09-17T15:45:56.634-05:00Thank you for the quick response.

Are they supposed to be bomber size?<br /><br />I see they have rules for space stations and such. Any rules for space monsters or the potential for working an actual warship on the board?Eli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353993238228420112.post-55101178576414663012010-09-17T15:33:24.782-05:002010-09-17T15:33:24.782-05:00The play is simple, with no book-keeping and a nic...The play is simple, with no book-keeping and a nice little initiative mechanic (faster ships move last but fire first).<br /><br />It almost feels like Wings of War in space.
