Operation FROSTBITE preview
Rackham have posted details of their upcoming Operation FROSTBITE expansion. They have also posted photos of three miniatures (1,2, and 3) associated with the campaign.
From their announcement:
The conflicts opposing the armies of AT-43 are crystallizing around a planet known for its extreme weather conditions and that has gained huge strategic significance for all the armies in the galaxy: Élysée.
It is in these hostile conditions that the players will deploy and move their companies over different sectors scattered over three main battlefronts where the U.N.A., the Red Blok, the Therians and the Karmans are fighting. As the Frostbite campaign gains momentum, the players will benefit from a variety of advantages gained during previous battles or, on the contrary, suffer the consequences of their recent failures.
There are 18 missions that can be played in two different ways, plus a deadly tie breaking mission. That´s 37 different games the players will have to fight to install their domination! Operation Frostbite also allows you to discover exclusive terrain elements: crystals and reversible gaming tiles. But the set also includes rules for neutral fighters. Adding new flavor to the game, new combat drills are also offered along with rules for support units and troop transport units.
Operation: Frostbite is a major supplement for AT-43. Two to four players will compete in a new campaign mode and watch their companies gain experience thanks to the optional rules sections. Available in summer 2008, the Frostbite campaign for AT-43 is forecast to blast some very cool winds over miniatures strategy gaming!
