I'll give Picard a pass. Was nice to see some of the old gang back, but they seemed to run out of ideas and had a very silly end.

STD is awful, mostly because I cannot take to Michael Burnham, and I hate that they turned Spock into a grinning codpiece, and that they inserted Burham into Sarek's family.  Oh, and what on Klingon did they do to the Klingons?

I'm more hopeful for the Pike/No1 spinoff that is promised.   

I will agree that Micelle Yeoh is always watchable.

Michelle Yeoh was definitely chewing the set and loving it.
I thought the whole of Discovery was great, but did think the ending was a bit meh!
Not done Picard yet. Won't be long I'm sure.  8)

Loved ST:D but so far found Picard a bit of a yawn. Maybe it picks up.

I'd agree on Picard, actuallly I think it felt like they dusted off a generic ST:NG plot and just said "Picard groans a bit 'cos he's old"...

Michelle Yeoh is channelling the no spirit of the Mighty Shat, for sure. Except she doesn't look like she's about to need a sit down and a rest after three punches ;)

Burnham changes quite a bit thru the series - I'd not taken to her to start but she's come good! I was
amused rather than upset at her being slipped into Spocks family, no worse than artfully writing Section31 and Disco out of the Federation history to explain why no one ever mentioned them before in the future ;)

The Klingons are explained in at the start of Season 2 ;) Also I loved it touched upon the difference between TOS, NG and used the old FASA explanation :D

That's about everything I can think of right now, but I'm sure there'll be something I've missed.  Actually, there is something I've missed but you'll have to wait for that...  It's big news, the bigliest news ever, biglier than everything I've listed above...  but you'll have to wait for it... shhh....  :-$

Hmm.... what could it be...?!

Silly Nobby!

That's not 10mm ...

What more is there to do? Are you not master of 10mm? Are your enemies not strewn about your feet like so many empty wine skins? Do they not call you Mr 10mm?

I don't think we'd have had the funds for that!  Were they picked up by TTCombat?

Warcradle picked up all the licences. Obviously they can only start on one project at once and they started on Dystopian wars, I think it will be a long time before there attention gets to Planetfall.

Are you able to give us any hints to the sci fi expansion leon? Please? Pretty please?!

Well there's a whole new Universe out there (maybe even many multiverses) to be boldly explored ... I suspect  ;D

Not a lot at this stage but there'll be info soon.  We've got 20 different factions planned with vehicles already 90% complete for all of those, so we'll just need to get infantry and support weapons done as well.

No doubt the development of the new website has well progressed and I'm too late for this suggestion but I came across Pendraken's U.S. stockist today and I quite like the 4 to a row "side by side" presentation of products as illustrated in the link below (as opposed to the single product per row which, in the case of the ACW range with 70 odd products, takes ages to scroll down).

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
