Spartan Games has previewed these new releases for their growing Dystopian Wars range. These new Bombardment Groups have been scheduled to be released in late April. But here's already an introduction.
DWKB49 Kingdom of Britannia Bombardment Group - The Heavy Bomber is incredibly rugged and sports a Norfield-2 Shield Generator ensuring it is capable of shrugging off all bar the most concerted attacks. Armed with a devastating Fore Cannon with a redoubtable internalised firing mechanism that greatly increases its lifespan in battle and two bomb bays that are invariably loaded with Black Prince munitions (a late development in ordnance research that pierces through enemy armour with ease) and the net result is a Halifax Heavy Bomber that can obliterate surface targets ensuring the ‘will of her majesty’ is delivered.
Armed with just two rapid firing deck guns, the Stalwart may seem limited in its firepower, but when used in concert, these weapons provide unrivalled massed firepower. Couple this with the Stalwart’s larger than average complement of Marines and this vessel is indeed stalwart. Contains: 2 Halifax Class Heavy Bombers, 3 Stalwart Class Heavy Destroyers, 6 SAW Tokens, 6 Micro Dice and 2 SAS Trays. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.
DWPE49 Prussian Empire Bombardment Group - The Adler was designed as a first strike weapon for Prussian military operations. The aircraft is mounted with a number of lightning based weapons capable of delivering devastating Tesla ordnance to the enemy: The fore mounted Tesla Coils are supplemented with a powerful Speerschleuder launcher mounted on the top of the craft, allowing for an extremely powerful fore attack against a prospective target. Once the target has been weakened, the Adler delivers the killing blow with its dual Bomb Bays, loaded with terrifying Speerschleuder Bombs.
The Havel is a late development in Prussian Naval thinking. This small innocuous vessel provides front line air support to the naval fleets, launching and re-arming fighter and attack aircraft right in the middle of the battle line. Armed with powerful Tesla mines and Tesla Broadsides, these are often deployed on the flanks of a battle line where their support capabilities are not to be underestimated. Contains: 2 Adler Class Heavy Bombers, 2 Havel Class Light Carrier, 8 SAW Tokens, 6 Micro Dice and 2 SAS Trays. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.
DWBS49 Empire of the Blazing Sun Bombardment Group - The Suzaku still divides opinion amongst members of the Imperial War Council – some consider it to be an abhorrent bringer of death; indiscriminate and heartless, whereas others view the aircraft as a necessary evil that will tip the balance of power in the numerous battle zones the Empire is currently engaged in.
The Sui Heavy Destroyer is armed with a powerful set of fore torpedo launchers that mount Incendiary munitions, and each Sui has a large cadre of assault samurai on board, ready to mount a terrifying assault on the enemy an close quarters. Contains: 2 Suzaku Class Heavy Bombers, 4 Sui Class Heavy Destroyers, 6 SAW Tokens, 6 Micro Dice and 2 SAS Trays. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.
DWFS49 Federated States of America Bombardment Group - The B-72 Heavy Bombers (nicknamed Big Bears by its crews) is a true triumph of aeronautical engineering. Their pilots are capable of flying the craft at low levels (a feat that would be unthinkable to most pilots) ensuring the aircraft can be almost undetectable to enemy fighter cover. Armed with two rocket pods mounting Cadence-Class armour piercing munitions and two bomb bays suitable for area bombardment there are few nations that can deny the devastating effect of the B-72 Heavy Bomber or the skills of the crews who fly them.
The Yale Heavy Destroyer uses technology recently developed for use on the Georgetown Cruiser to give the Federated States of America an additional bombardment asset in medium to long range engagements. These vessels are often commanded by captains promoted through the ranks and are armed with a single Bombardment Gun that utilises rapid firing technology. Contains: 2 B-72 Class Heavy Bombers, 3 Yale Class Heavy Destroyers, 8 SAW Tokens, 6 Micro Dice and 2 SAS Trays. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.
DWCA49 Covenant of Antarctica Bombardment Group - The Hyperbius Control Flyer performs a number of roles in the various theatres of its operation. Firstly is enhances the Drone small aircraft in its vicinity, improving their manoeuvrability and defensive protocols when engaged by enemy Ack-Ack. Secondly it uses its in-built Target Painter Generator to supplement the weapons of the Covenant to improve their accuracy.
The Kepler Light Carrier utilises the ‘wavelurker’ technology that is prevalent in Covenant naval doctrine to allow the vessel to survive in the hostile combat environments of sea battles. Armed with a set of energy weapon broadsides, the vessel can also launch Drones at an alarming rate, ensuring the Covenant dominance of the skies is maintained for as long as possible. Contains: 2 Hyperbius Class Control Flyers, 2 Kepler Class Light Carriers, 10 SAW Tokens, 6 Micro Dice, 2 SAS Trays and 1 acrylic submerged base. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.
DWRF49 Republique of France Bombardment Group - The Rousseau Heavy Bomber is armed with fore guns and two bomb bays, both loaded with a highly corrosive radioactive compound that quite literally ‘eats’ armoured targets the Heavy Bomber gives a very good account of itself when called upon to deliver retribution the enemies of Liberté.
The Pascal Medium Bomber provides the French commanders a much needed ground attack aerial asset. Armed with rockets and bomb bays that are once again brimming with corrosive munitions, the Pascal performs well when called upon to engage in area bombing or focused ground attack. Contains: 2 Rousseau Class Heavy Bombers, 3 Pascal Class Medium Bombers, 6 SAW Tokens, 6 Micro Dice and 2 SAS Trays. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.
DWRC49 Russian Coalition Bombardment Group - The Heavy Bomber has two fore cannons armed with armour piercing ammunition and no less than three bomb bays loaded with heavy sonic based munitions! The Kirchev marks a change in Russian aeronautical design where the lesson of the naval and armoured theatre “He who lasts longest, wins” dominates.
The Chany is armed with a single fore cannon loaded with armour piercing ammunition, these squadrons have been known to elicit a surrender from their prey simply by surfacing behind them! Merchant captains know that should the Chany Squadron open fire, the crews on-board their targets are almost certainly dead, lost to the elements and the cruel sea. Given their almost piratical reputation, the Chany Submarine squadrons tend to attract the more ‘adventurous’ types of submariner and marine. The boarding assaults mounted by the Chany squadrons tend to be definitive in nature as the assaulters hope to gain a share in bounty on-board their target. Contains: 2 Kirchev Class Heavy Bombers, 3 Chany Class Submarine Bases, 3 Chany Class submerged Submarine Bases, 6 SAW Tokens, 6 Micro Dice and 2 SAS Trays. Models supplied unpainted and unassembled.
