Project Status and Scheduled Releases, Summer, 2007

1. AVAILABLE NOW, on the BUY tab of the website, The Deluxe Hardcopy FirePower Pass Rules-Book (version 2.1) containing 257 pages! All the PDFs in the version 2.1 download are here, including Scenarios 6 and 7 (below) which were released after the initial game; printed in full-color. Includes a complimentary CD (shipped separately) of all the files as well, for convenient printing from your computer of those components you need to play.
2. AVAILABLE NOW (go to the FREEBIES tab above):
   Scenario S7 - The Battle of Grandebanks-7. A massive scenario involving 24 Terran Capital ships (in 5 squadrons deployed in 2 task groups) and 23 Procyonese ships and 5 armed troop transports (in 5 of their squadrons and three operational forces)! Ostensibly a Terran ambush of a Procyonese invasion force, the battle could go either way with forces engaged at short, medium and long ranges right off the mark.
   
   Can you as the commander of Terran Confederation Fleet Strike Group Radiensa destroy the Procyonese transports with your Carrier Space Group containing 1000+ Light Attack Craft? Or will the heavy guns and massive missile loads of Procyonese Assault Force Invictus arrive in time to to save them?
   
   Contains:
   • A copy of the previously released STRATEGIC MAP of the Area of Operations where this scenario takes place in the ongoing Terro-Procyonese War
   • 12 pages of Storyline and Historical Outcome
   • 6 pages of Table of organization for this scenario for both sides
   • A map to set the battle up on a 5' x 3' table
   • PRE-FILLED ship logs for EVERY ship in the scenario!
   
   
3. AVAILABLE NOW (go to the FREEBIES tab above):
   Scenario S6 - Conqueror Arrives. An early war scenario involving Corporate forces versus one of the initial waves of the Procyonese 1st Line Naval forces. This is an example of a classic Procyonese attack plan, including the arrival of the largest vessel in their current fleet, the System base Ship Conqueror, complete with 15 secondary turrets, clouds of Light Attack Craft and a missile complement twice the size of any other single vessel in the game! The Conqueror is the objective for the Terrans, for if the SBS and its escorts can get close to their objective planet and clear the asteroid belts nearby, the system will fall!
   
4. AVAILABLE NOW (go to the FREEBIES tab above):
   The Cyberboard Gamebox file of Firepower Pass! Allows Play by Email play of Firepower Pass using Dale Larson's wonderful free tool CYBERBOARD (see http://cyberboard.brainiac.com).
