And maybe its just because I'm a sucker for airships, but the Canadian Quebec Armada Class Support Flyer I think jumped to the short list of my favorite models ever. http://www.spartangames.co.uk/operation-north-star-narrative and a short story to make it all the better http://www.spartangames.co.uk/short-story-the-castle-in-the-frost Bazlord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaH2PO4aq Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 All those funky STO units! Really nice! And I really like the Canadian units too, very nice style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsiegel1983 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I love the way the sto look in that. It says you get free stuff if you are in the first 150, but how do you known if you in the first 150? I am seeing a trend of torpedoes in prussian ships. The ice maiden, new monitor and now in this box. Not sure how I feel about it. I will give them a try, but it does feel odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erloas Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I pre-ordered the 2-player set, but I guess I didn't look closely enough at the bonuses because that doesn't include the Quebec, it is the Newfoundland Battleship... a ship which I can't seem to actually find in the shop or mentioned in the email. Is it a renamed lend-lease from another ORBAT? Hmm... I really want that Quebec, but I don't actually see any way to get it other than to order the individual Canadian box... but I want both DoC and STO and don't need two copies of the rest of the ships (at least at this point). And there isn't an individual order for the Quebec or the support box. And it seems the box set doesn't have the corvettes or heavy frigates... maybe I'll see about canceling the order for the box set and instead do both boxes individually... I guess I got a bit too excited. A bit too much Jsiegel1983 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazduruk_Bugzappa Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 The new shiny things always seem to come at just the wrong time for me. I would have jumped straight into that offer if I didn't have to keep some money aside for when I go away for a 2 week work course tomorrow.

S.Mike Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Oh don't worry folks... part of my grand plans include a stronger wave of support for new and existing factions. There is already a heft of additional things in the works for these two amazing new forces. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.Mike Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 @level9red Sadly I cannot, as I am not sofisticated enough to understand the working of the online store. But I can ask the Bossman how it will be illustrated and see what I can figure out for everyone. Spartan Games doesn't hate your wallet! Personally, I hate it as I have no access to it, but the company rather loves it I'm sure! -Mike Nicholas and Elessar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

level9red Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 @Maccabeus when is this widget? I being blind and can't see it. @Spartan Mike Thank you! Lol, fair enough, I'm sure they'd rather it was larger... @Benchpresser Ok, thank you. I'd sort of rather know before ordering, but fair enough.

Texas_Archer Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Mike, is there a render ready for the Newfoundland Battleship? It wasnt shown in the get to know the units, but the Eider was. Could you give us some info on what it is equipped with???? Also will HMS Sussex be aboe to be used with the Canadians via LendLease? It looks more at home with the Canadians than the KOB...

Bazlord Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Oh damn!! That's some hard choices right there! A free Sibrand Metzger/Quebec Flyer, or both awesome fleets for a lower price? Hummm... It's a good thing I'm poor, otherwise there'd be some decisions to be made ;-) Dammit...I really want that Quebec, tho. Surely i could sneak it into my Raj forces. Right?

Erloas Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I sent an email to dispatch to see if I can change my order to one of each box instead of the 2-player box (don't need a 3rd rulebook either), I couldn't do it from the shop as the order already says processing. I just hope I hear back before they run out/the deal ends, last time I had a question for dispatch it didn't get answered until the sale I was asking about was already over.

Lord Nobody Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Why is the Canadian flag made up of a British flag on a reverse Denmark flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKinstry Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 i just ordered the two boxes and there seemed to be no trouble with stock levels. Given the Spartan email just went out a few hours ago (the same as the blog postings) and at least two of the miniature forums I view have not picked up the story yet, you should be OK for a while.

Zond Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm probably going to regret this but I ordered the set. I'm not sure I'll even like 2.5 or fully trust Spartan Games but I suppose at this point were at fool me 27 times so definitely shame on me.
