"I started a space campaign using the old Star Frontiers campaign game for the Sathar war (an invasion of evil worm-like aliens of the known frontier) for the strategic aspects and Red Alert: Space Warfare (Commands & Colors in space). I'm using the strategic map and have simplified several aspects, including ditching the various militia ships and rosters from Star Frontiers. Planets that had the various space stations get the space platform from the Red Alert game instead. In lieu of the ships in Star Frontiers, each faction gets 12 fleets -- one each of the 12 task force cards (pre-made fleets) from Red Alert plus 40 points of support for each one. Sathar support is drawn randomly, after I pick the support for the UPF. Once the fleets are used for the first time, any surviving ships are recorded (so no random draws or support buys the next time they go into action). There are no new ships built for the duration of the campaign. What you have is what you have. For convenience, I redrew the paper Star Frontiers map onto a whiteboard so I can use small magnets to mark fleet locations and move it out of the way when not in use…"

Very nice! The best decision they made with Red Alert was the change from two fleets with identical ships to different ship designs for each fleet. |

Who manufactures these figures for these 2 fleets?
Are they GZG? Brigade?

They're the plastic miniatures you get with the game. Also available in discounted bags from PSC. TMP link |

I checked it out. A good price to get up and running.
You get 34 or so minis for 10 pounds (discounted bags). They look great.

Wow, this looks really great! Exactly the sort of thing I want to do with my Red Alert game. Well done! |

When we play tested Red Alert I ran the Sathar Invasion campaign at the HMGS conventions in Orlando: Hurricon and Recon. link |
