And so it begins... anew

"The Babylon project was our last best hope for peace. It failed. But in the year of the shadow war, it became something greater, our last best hope for victory. The year is 2260, the place Babylon 5."

 

Yes, we are back to the old great nostalgic love... Babylon 5, A Call to Arms spaceship game by Mongoose Publishing.

 

I blame Andy.  I really do.  Suddenly, out of the blue he poked me on WhatsApp, asking me if I still had my fleets, which I didn't.  What followed then was a sales pitch and before I knew it I had ordered a new Earth Alliance fleet over at Agents of Gaming, even with the serious import costs I would need to pay.

 

Now, I started out small, ordering a 5 points of Raid fleet for now, consisting of an Omega Destroyer, 2 regular Hyperions, an Assault Hyperion and an Oracle scout, together with the necessary flights of Aurora and Thunderbolt Starfuries.

 

The biggest difference perhaps is that over the years my paintingstyle has evolved / improved, so I could have more fun painting them up then the pure drybrushing of 20 years ago.

 

So scrounging for the long OOP rulebooks and fleet lists, we will get a game in left or right, as my "Dawn of the Third Age" fleet is being shipped in right now.

 

To be continued... soon!
