Thought I'd share this with you guys. I'm adding some Full Thrust stuff to my SGII stuff (all loosely titled "Generic Sci-Fi") with the intent of one day adding Dirtside II (ie 25mm infantry and light vehicles, 6mm big ground battles, and space ships...). Any-hoo, did a test model tonight... yeah, um, it's a really smale scale (I'd never painted anything smaller than a rat for 28mm) So: ![]() ![]() It was a really quick paint job on a free sample from Eureka, not one of the ships from my fleets (grabbed, for "those in the know," an Imperial Japanese starter and the same for the Oceanic Union), so I've decided to use them (there was three in the pack) as civilian light freighters/transports. Really just an excuse to try three different types of trimming. |

Looks very nice. I'm not much into spaceship gaming, but our club does it a couple of times a year and FT is our ruleset of choice. |

Heaps man heaps. Long hours, high stress, no real extra money. To be honest, I should never have taken the 'promotion.' Thanks for the comments guys. |

Nice ships Ross. I will did out my fleets and beam over for a game. Full Thrust is available free online, or it used to be. The game is fun and you have to write instructions for your ships each turn. It could be tweaked so your enemies operate a bit more randomly. |

Just preparing to play at the moment. I've got a small Imperial Japanese fleet waiting to be painted before I play. |

Danny... I've played Full thrust before and it does have a similar mechanic to "Iron Men, Wooden Ships". The mechanic isn't a complete drop in and run, it would need some "tweaking" with a hammer to fit. |

I tried Full Thrust, & I did like it, but a couple of the guys at the LGS in Jacksonville were playing Starmada, so that's what we started playing, too. I LOVE Stargrunt & Dirtside, though. Been playing them for years. |
