Title: A Billion Suns is Here!
Post by: Ruckdog on February 24, 2021, 06:04:02 pm

The new Osprey space combat game A Billion Suns is now available! I got my copy through Amazon yesterday, so if you ordered it there or through your FLGS you should have it soon too.

After a quick flip-through, it looks very interesting. I can't wait to try it out! Now I just need to decide which set of space minis I'm going to use with it lol.

I am waiting to pick it up in a bundle purchase with:

Gamma Wolves
Absolute Emperor
A Billion Suns

Later this year.  I have read some very interesting things about the rules that take it far away from "WWII in Space". I look forward to your review!

Hmm . . . Will have to check my pre-order at a nearby Games store, down the road.

Finally got my copy!  It snuck past the Brexit blockade and got to me!   

It has some great photos of ships, but they are small since the game is text heavy.  Plus, the artwork of starships is blank white backgrounds and the ships are not that inspiring to me. 

That is just a flip through.  I look forward to reading it soon.

I bought it yesterday. After a quick scroll through, I think this expansion will be a lot of fun. Can't wait to try it out!
