Providence Class Bombard Monitor (Large) (Unit size 1)
The Providence Class Bombard Monitor is a product of experience gained by the FSA’s navy in operations across the world in the early part of the World War. Campaigns such as those which took place in the Pacific, where the ability to bombard shore positions from vast ranges became a priority for fleet commanders.

The Providence Class Monitor is built around its massive main battery, the Orlington ‘Big Joe’ Mark 1 repeating howitzer. This huge weapon and its supporting structures occupy almost half the Providence’s hull, but it is well worth the costs. With one firing, this single weapon can discharge a weight of ordnance equivalent to a whole battery of lesser pieces, in a tight grouping for maximum devastation.

The ‘Big Joe’ fires like a peal of thunder, followed by a brief period of unnerving quiet before its terrifying barrage arrives on target all at once. The crews of these vessels call this being ‘touched by the hand of Providence’ and joke that while their enemies rarely see retribution coming their way, they sure as hell can hear it!

Early in the class’s development, FSA army engineers brought back captured examples of French ‘sling-shot’ aircraft launching devices following operations in North Africa. Modified versions were built into the Providence as an experimental measure, and are used for launching aeroplanes without burdening the vessel with a flight deck.

Calico Light Carrier (Medium) (Unit size 1-2)
The Calico Light Carrier is a recent addition to the coastal defence forces of the Federated States. As with many of the vessels fielded by the Americans, the Calico is flexible enough to survive in numerous types of military engagements. It was first built in the shipyards of California, providing patrol fleets with long-range air cover against Blazing Sun raiding forces that periodically attacked coastal targets on the FSA’s long Latin American seaboard.

Though mainly intended for carrier support duties, the Calico was designed with a high degree of adaptability in mind, with a tried and tested ‘Universal’ mounting capable of holding a variety of payloads. The standard Scott-Packard rocket battery gives it an edge in bombardment operations.

To Bunt or Not to Bunt…that is the question! We have two versions of the Calico – one with added bunting detailing and one without.

This can be replaced with a Jonesville Kinetic accelerator for vessels operating in the pursuit, raiding or even boarding assault role with their sizeable Marine Corps complement; or a Westmoreland ‘Little Rock’ standard shield projector – the latter turning the Calico into a tough close-defence vessel for Cruiser squadrons when its formidable volley-gun batteries are brought into play.

Animas Class Attack Submarine (Small) (Unit size 2-4)
The FSA learnt much from the Operation: Shadow Hunter military campaign and the Animas Class Attack Submarine is part of that legacy. It provides the Federated States of America with another aggressive boarding threat that lurks beneath the waves.

Armed with a solid fore cannon and crewed with some of the more ‘independently minded’ members of the Federated States’ vaunted Marine Corps, the submarine excels in getting close and causing havoc amongst enemy vessels. Frequently painted black or dark blue, the Animas is often used in night attacks against enemy warships at anchor, where a few determined bands of men with automatic weapons and limpet mines can create as much panic as a full naval bombardment!
