Introduction
This is the page for the `Talis' Sci fi campaign. It gives information to the players about the games that have been played and will, in due course have vital game components such as their up-to date army lists available for them to access. I'll also be uploading the campaign background, and information about each of the game scenarios and our sci fi campaign system (which we think is a nice fusion of role playing and traditional shoot `em up gaming).
Background
The Talis campaign is the second long running Sci Fi campaign that the club has run. It started in April 2008, and uses a number of web resources as well as our own `variation' of the Hammer's Slammer's rules published by Pireme Publications. http://www.miniwargames.com/indexa.asp?intDeptID=10

Slammers Rules
To understand these properly you need to buy them from Pireme, however we have done our own quick reference sheets, and designed some vehicles for our own use.
Quick Reference sheet: {link}
Models for this campaign are all 15mm, with a couple of exceptions here are some of the companies we get them from;
www.quickreactionforce.co.uk Quick Reaction Force (QRF) a small but growing range of Sci fi vehicles. Designed some specific vehicles used in this and the Coopers World campaign. Can't be too praisworthy of the company as one of their directors is a club member .....
www.groundzerogames.net Ground Zero Games(GZG) Probably the largest 15mm range around at the moment. Many of the vehicles are also made in 25mm also a 6mm range as well (very popular at our club). (Jon's also a great guy to do business with). And of course there's the `Full Thrust' range of space ships for the off planet elements as well.
www.peterpig,co.uk Many of Martin's AK47 range make exellent Sci fi campiagn figures.
http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/ Old Crow : What can you say. These are the guys with the `licenced' Slammers models. Very nice they are too.
And three small (but growing) US companies that deserve a mention:
www.geocities.com/swadyko2000/Combatwombat.html Combat Wombat. Scotty's company is releasing models at a phenomal rate. Good quality resin models and great service.
http://forcexximiniatures.com/ Force XXI. Mel Beard supplied most of Paul's infantry for his `Finlandia Regiment in John's campaign. Again a wide range of models in 15, 10 and even 6mm, scales
http://rebelminis.com/ Rebel Miniatures: a small range of 15mm Sci fi Figures and some vehicles too, Zombies and the modern `special forces' are useful. Mike is releasing a steady range of new infantry and vehicles in the sci fi Genre. Trevor's Talis unit is from these figures.
