<\/p>\nBolt Action: so I did end up getting the starter set and a couple of other army boxes:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The main US Army list book has an entry for Philippine Scouts, so guess what I found and ordered online?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I got a notification that a Kickstarter reward was shipping, and this one is something I’ve been looking forward to for a while.<\/p>\n
Back in the glory days of FASA Corporation, there was the Renegade Legion series of games, which I never got into because I was already into their Battletech series, and we were still doing RPGs more than tabletop wargaming.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Flashforward to around 2020 or so, when FASA Games (a new company working with the original FASA Corporation) came out with a new iteration of FASA Corp’s Interceptor game, which didn’t catch my eye until a few years later when they had a Kickstarter for their Aetherstream: Leviathan game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Both Interceptor and Leviathan can find their roots in the old Renegade Legion universe, but this new incarnation of FASA Games doesn’t appear to have full rights to that world, so these are under a sub brand called Aetherstream, which appears to be a continuation\/offshoot of the original Renegade Legion source material.<\/p>\n
Older fans of these games appeared to dislike the fact that it’s not in the same universe as before, but since I never got into it back then, this new version appears to be fine with me.<\/p>\n
So next week I should be getting both the Interceptor core set and the Leviathan Academy starter set.\u00a0 The Kickstarter itself was for the launch of Leviathan into FASA Games product line, but I decided to finally pick up Interceptor as well, as an add on.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The main difference between the two games (both then and now) is that Interceptor is about fighter combat while Leviathan is about capital ship combat.<\/p>\n
So of course I dragged out some other space games to fiddle with and play until the Aetherstream stuff comes in.<\/p>\n
