Here’s my post about getting started with starship wargaming. \u00a0I originally posted it to Imgur in December 2012. \u00a0I’m reposting the series here to get this blog started.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a><\/p>\n

I ordered the “FT Intro Fleet Double” from Ground Zero Games in the UK. I chose the ESU and UNSC fleets. You get 2 frigates, 2 destroyers, 2 light cruisers, 1 heavy cruiser and 1 battle cruiser for each fleet. It took 2 weeks and a day to arrive in CA from the UK.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the contents of the box. It came with 2 copies of the Full Thrust Light rules, which are also available for free download (as are all the Full Thrust rules) from\u00a0http:\/\/shop.groundzerogames.net\/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=130<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the 2 fleets. The ships in the bags need assembly.<\/p>\n

\"1st<\/a><\/p>\n

1st step: clean up the ships. Remove all the flash, file down the mold lines, then give them a good scrub with soap and water with a toothbrush. Here’s the flash and dust from cleaning up the ESU fleet. That’s my tiny metal file I used.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The ESU fleet all cleaned up and washed. That took about 3 1\/2 hours.<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the assembled ESU battlecruiser.<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the whole ESU fleet, ready for primer. That will be in part 2.<\/p>\n
