Title: New Battleships for Dystopian Wars
Post by: Ruckdog on November 14, 2016, 08:11:26 am: Anyone else notice that Spartan has quietly posted new modular Dystopian Wars battleships for preorder? It looks like there are new ships for the KoB, PE, FSA, and EotBS up. I believe we saw the KoB one previously as part of the Battle for Africa blog posts.

Also, this Kickstarter move has me ...un-enthused.

Would be cool if Coa got large sub battleship, that basicly look similar to the frigates/destoryers/corvette hulls in design. ^^

Agreed Dale, I love the carrier variant of the EoBS battleship. The others however, I don't really care for much. I'll have to see those in person. My wallet certainly appreciates this situation though.

Post by: Landlubber on January 19, 2017, 11:43:08 pm: No worries. I post pictures from a Photobucket account, but if you don't want to go to the trouble don't worry about it.

Post by: Dakkar on January 20, 2017, 11:05:55 am: I'm going to have to get the EotBS BB after LGS auction or Genghis-Con, since I want to focus on them in 2017, and little prompts focus like new shiny :-)
