T-43 Initiation Set: Operation Damocles
The Initiation Set box is both a complete game for 2 players and an introduction to the rules of AT-43. The White Stars forces face, over several missions, the terrifying Therian aliens on one of their Factory-planets. These scenarios allow you to get acquainted with the basics of the game in a simplified form at first, and then step by step into strategic depth. The box contains all the necessary material for two players to play the six missions of the handbook. Three bonus scenarios are also included so as to integrate forces from the White Stars and the Therian Army Boxes.

Army Boxes
Army Boxes are at the same time a new approach to the game and a complement to the Initiation Set. Instead of scripted missions, the initiation rules supplied in every Army Box allow the players to wage war freely with the AT-43 miniatures of their choice. Besides, the miniatures of these boxes can be used in combination with those of the Initiation Set to play the bonus missions of the initiation handbook or larger free games. Game support Posters supplied in the Initiation Set and in every Army Box can be combined to constitute an extended battleground!

I'm hoping they get some pics of those terrain elements out soon. They could be useful. To be honest the minis haven't really impressed me yet.
