Well, here it is! Hop on over to the downloads page and download yourself a copy of Incursion!
It’s been a very long 14 months in the making. It took lots of really late nights and long weekends by a whole bunch of dedicated people to make this a reality. Most people on the team worked for free or for very reduced rates in order to just make it real. It has been brutal but it has been a labor of love. We all hope you enjoy yourselves with this game.
I can’t thank everyone who worked on this here but I would, in particular like to call out my friend Tammy (Tears of Envy) who was always there to prop me back up when I started to fall. Also, without the expertise of Andy and Wendy of West Wind Productions, this thing likely would not be…
So, we have at last reached the end…of the beginning!

TGN Back on the Air…Again
Tabletop Gaming News is back on the air. Battlefront is now hosting and sponsoring them. With luck this will be the last ‘going down’ message we see from TGN…or not.
New Plastic Hellhound Spotted!
Bell of Lost Souls has pictures of the upcoming 40K, all-plastic, Imperial Guard Hellhound kit debuted at Gamesday Spain. It looks a bit like the Graia Pattern Forge World kit but, unlike some of GW’s newer releases, deviates from it considerably. It includes all three of the new Hellhound variants. Nice to have it in plastic but we wish they had done the Artemia Pattern instead.
Incursion Now Available
Also see our APE Suit miniatures review and Incursion SNAFU review.
The Guerilla Miniature Games’s Blog has a nice piece on assembling the Incursion game pieces.
The printed box game is now available for a limited time. You can see the unboxed components.

Planetary Empires Sneak Peek
The latest French edition of White Dwarf included an ad for the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 campaign system, Planetary Empires. The ad announces that the Planetary Empires box game will include 48 plastic hexes that are compatible with the Mighty Empires hexes. The hexes will also be available separately from GW in some form. You can combine the two games if you wish to form campaigns that span the ages. Also included are short, simple campaign rules designed by Jervis Johnson but they also encourage players to make up their own. The system is designed for use with Warhammer 40K as well as Epic.
From the included photo of the hexes it looks like players are going to want to buy Might Empires as well, or some of the hexes, if they want mountain, forest, or river hexes but this remains to be seen. Overall it should be an interesting product.
GW has released Strategy Cards for use with PE as well as a nice article on painting your tiles.

Federation Commander Briefing #2 — Review
Amarillo Design Bureau’s latest expansion for Federation Commander, Briefing #2, is very well timed considering the recent release of the new Star Trek movie. Briefing #2 takes Federation Commander back to the ‘Middle Years’. In the world of FC (and SFB) the Middle Years are the closest thing to the period of the original Star Trek series.

Even More New Cog Photos
There is a French site, figouz.net, that has loads of pictures of the upcoming Cogs for AT-43.
Also confirmed are at least two new army boxes for AT-43 to be released mid-year. One box is for the Cogs and the other for Red Blok. Both boxes contain everything you need to play 2,000 point games.
Rackham now has videos showing the contents of the two army boxes.
Note: These army boxes are now shipping.

New Forge World Valkyrie and Vulture Variants
The latest Forge World Openday saw the preview of upcoming Valkyrie and Vulture variant kits for the new GW plastic Valkyrie. Warseer has a number of photos of them and other new upcoming Ork (lots of Battle Wagon variants) and Chaos FW kits. The Valkyrie variant is a gunship called the Vendetta armed with what looks like six lascannons. The Vulture is a major variant with resin fuselage and wing bits to add to the main wings and tail booms of the new plastic kit. A new gatling gun type weapon, the Punisher Cannon, is posssibly included.
See more pics of the Vulture and Vendetta.
All in all some great looking stuff.

New AT-43 Images
Rackham released some new AT-43 images in Cry Havoc Online #2. First up is the new Cog Prowler. This is probably the Cog’s version of a size three Strider. There are a couple funny photos of a mass of the new Therian Storm arachn. The Storm arachn appears in Operation Frostbite. Lastly are two great photos of the upcoming Red Blok Dotch Yaga. It is good to finally see some new stuff coming out for AT-43 again.
Rackham later released an even better photo of the Dotch Yaga.
