Amazing technological breakthroughs would change all of that in the year 2112. The invention of the Near Faster Than Light (NFTL) drive would make it possible for large ships to move easily in and out of a planet’s gravity well, and to travel quickly within the confines of a solar system. Ten years later, the perfecting of the Faster Than Light (FTL) drive would turn the galaxy into an open canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUnited by a common purpose, the newly formed Terran Confederation spread its wings and began to paint their picture. Expansion led to colonies, research stations, and even more technological discoveries, but it also led to the realization that they were not alone. Although no sentient, alien species had been encountered, long range scanners had picked up the distinctive signatures of FTL drives. Sentient races must exist…and they must be space faring. Terran expansion stopped. Not knowing what to expect, a period of consolidation followed which emphasized defensive technologies and fleet building.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFirst contact was made with the Talonthincanthanadu in 2227, although the people of earth would just call them the Talons. The shortening of the name made sense, not only for convenience, but because the Talon Empire swooped in very mush like a raptor upon the fledgling Terran Confederation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTalon is a tactical game of space fleet combat between the Terran Confederation and the invading Talonthincanthanadu (Talon) Empire.\u003cbr\u003eThe 3rd Printing will be identical to the 2nd Printing, except that any known errata will be corrected.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eOne Mounted Map Board 22\"x 34\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eOne Mounted Extension Map Board 22\"x 17\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eThree Sheets of large, laminated, hexagonal Ship Counters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eOne half sheet of 1\/2\" Informational Counters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eOne Impulse Chart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eTwo Player Aid Cards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eOne Rulebook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eOne Scenario Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eTwo 6-sided Dice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eTwo Dry Erase Markers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eOne Small Pad of Optional Fleet Logsheets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• \u003c\/strong\u003eOne 2.5\" Box\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53183032852848,"sku":"GMT1511","price":152.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/3085\/6304\/files\/268588.jpg?v=1768640062","url":"https:\/\/loothoarder.com.au\/products\/gmt-games-talon-reprint","provider":"Loot Hoarder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
