Some things in the Attack Wing universe have been let go.
The Romulan, Dominion and Borg faction packs from a few years ago, the third Dominion War set for Alliance are four and I accept that unless I am insanely lucky, I will never see them, but that is ok, I have plenty.
One that did get away and I remember having it in several carts, but never jumping was the Animated Series Faction set. The short run Animated series from 1973-74, the unofficial fourth series of the TOS period and a link to the movies, won an Emmy, helped keep the series alive and even broke some ground in the world of early serial animation, then dropped off the face of the earth.
It adds several ships including another Enterprise, two Klingons and a Romulan D-7 (bit rare that one), several Captains and Crew with Weapons, Tech and the odd Elite, fleshing out the TOS quite well, if you are ok with the animated art.
Mildly interested in an end of year ad, I followed my nose and found not one but “3+” Animated series sets at half retail or clearance price. On the open market these things are going for north of $300US used!
Looking to fill my cart and with a recent review of the Kirk expansion for Away Teams, I stumbled over that, the Scotty set and the “Q” expansion. The last one adds a lot of variety and different play styles with some needed randomness.
I am also keen on the terrain expansion, so we will see.
These seem to have evaporated, but the Q competition pack was a win.
Fun times.
Ed. What t do with the AS packs (yep bought 2, why would I not)? The Klothos, Devisor and Talon are all too cheap, I assume to be in line with later tournament costs, but a 14 point D-7 is just an auto buy, so these will have to be adjusted.
I can take the second Talon name and Devisor card as is with a picture change into the Enterprise era, but the Klothos, a cloaking D-7 in the mid point between TOS and TNG is actually going forward to the TOM period (D-7’s are thin up there). Which gave me an idea.
I have a Vulcan/Fed TOS Intrepid coming in a repeat Vulcan faction pack and the TAS Enterprise at 20 pts with shield repair is a beast and too cheap and powerful for the TOS set (and a repeat), so these are going TOM (the other will be point adjusted). The Enterprise refit was done early in the movies, so it stands to reason the older ships would have been in this universe as well (Miranda and Oberths made it to DS9).
