After a few games of internal play testing, the Admiral rules pack is getting closer to the first public version. Some of the changes that will be part of the final set include:

• A more flexible movement system.
• A faster fighter attack phase, which still achieves the same overall effect.
• A More deadly damage modeling system which sees critical systems taking heavy damage before a warship’s armor is completely destroyed.

Other than several new rules, the Admiral Rule’s Pack will also include four new classes of warships and at least three new equipment cards. If you are interested in publicly play-testing the admiral rules pack and live in the Detroit, Michigan area, please subscribe to our mailing list for the latest announcements.

The next planned product in the Kalidasia Universe is planned to be called the Admiral Rules Pack. It will feature several option rules to expand on the current version 1.1 ruleset.

Currently, the goals of the pack are:

• Increase the tactical options to players with addition of new maneuvering abilities.
• Decrease the time it takes to resolve certain aspects of the turn.
• Make the game more dynamic(Think more EXPLOSIVE!)

The final set of rules to be included in this pack is far from final, but play testing is currently underway. Here are a few teaser pictures:

While the damage cards will be the same, Damage seems to be more clustered….

Battles will continue to be up close and personal.

I wonder what this template is for? I’ll give you a hint. It’s six inches long on each side

Hmmm….I wonder why a warship might have an arrow next to it?

Please note that I am attending the Origins Game Fair until June 27th 2011. Any orders placed through the website will not ship until after that date. Thank You.

If you are at the Origins Game Fair, we are in booth #753.

Legends of Kalidasia: Silex Road is done and now available on the Amazon Kindle Store. You can purchase the e-book for $0.99 through the store on the actual Kindle device or through any of the Kindle Apps on other mobile platforms. I’m planning to launch on other e-book stores very soon.

Silex Road tells the story of Abbi-Sian as she leads a platoon of Heragul soldiers into ground combat against Surakari forces and in the process discovers there is more to this desolate waste land of a planet then she ever imagined.

I’m going for the “Woah! Is that dinosaur carrying an assault rifle?! That’s awesome!” factor.

In the near future, Kalidasia Media Productions will be adding a hand painted felt star map to accompany our line of Legends of Kalidasia products. The first design, simply called standard white, will feature dusty star forming regions on top of a distant star field.

The prototype map shown in this post is only 2 feet by 3 feet, but the final product will be 6 feet by 4 feet. While pricing details are not finalized yet, I’m targeting a sub $40 price tag.

I’ve got a limited number of Legends of Kalidasia bundle deals to sell at ridiculously low prices. These sets are the best way to get started with Legends of Kalidasia. Each one contains:

The Rise of the Surakari 2011 Box Set
A Surakari Combat Force
A Heragul Combat Force
Both of the Fleet Packs.

If you are counting, that’s 16 miniatures plus a bunch of card stock tokens and stat cards.

The retail price for this bundle is $150, but the sale price starts at $75 + Shipping.

Bid on the second bundle over at Ebay.

Below is the concept art for Abbi-Sian, a soldier of the rank Sargentic in the Heragul Armed Forces. The image depicts her in a desert camouflage combat suit.

Sargentic Abbi-Sian commands a platoon of Heragul soldiers on the planet Silex Four. In an upcoming short story, the events surrounding her first contact with Surakari ground forces will be revealed. With help from a Krylan named Zyrecon, she will discover why both the Heragul and the Surakari are interested in this hostile, desert wasteland of a planet.

Silex Road will be available on E-Reader Platforms in the coming months.

The Rise of the Surakari 2011 Deluxe Box Set is now available. This set is the best way to get starter with Legends of Kalidasia. It contains the 2011 edition of the rulebook, over 80 card stock tokens, 54 game cards, plastic tokens for tracking stats, and four pewter miniatures. The four miniatures are a Surakari Frigate, a Surakari Destroyer, a Heragul Frigate, and a Heragul Destroyer.

This new edition can be purchased from the Products Page for $50 + Shipping.
