A little late now, since the Kickstarter is over … The stiffeners are a purely optional add-on. I've used the box miniatures without them for many years with no problem. Of course, others find them a delight, or simply essential. |

In my limited experience I would say that 3d is enough of a game changer that its worth it. At least in the case of Ad Astra games since ship just simple don't move straight up/down
but roll and pivot which change firing arcs which are also in 3d.
P.S does any one have any examples of how other games tried to do 3d space movement?
