Elector Battlefleet Set
The cornerstone of the Imperium's war machine rests on a singular principle: efficiency. In the pursuit of victory, possessing the precise armament for any engagement is pivotal. Providing Admirals access to diverse ship configurations ensures they have the necessary resources at their disposal at any given moment. Leveraging an extensive rail network stretching from Prussia to other Germanic nations within the Imperium, the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) embarked on equipping a new generation of warships and support vessels with compatible rail gauge systems.
This adaptation enables rapid interchangeability of weaponry and goods, granting unparalleled responsiveness to operational needs without the expense or lengthy construction times associated with crafting specialized vessels for specific requirements. For instance, when the Imperium requires a vessel for shore battery bombardment, a Blucher cruiser can swiftly transform into an Augustus Bombardment Cruiser in less than a day. The Wilhelmshaven Imperial Shipyard boasts a remarkable record in refitting the warship Stralsund: arriving fresh from combat operations off the Heligoland coast, the cruiser's Volt Gun Batteries were replaced with a Gustav Heavy Bombard within mere hours.
Over a hundred and fifty Elector-type hulls have been manufactured in the fleet yards at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven, with many serving as Elector class Battleships, the backbone of the Imperium's navy. Approximately one in ten Elector hulls possesses the requisite quality for further reinforcement and outfitting, elevating them to become Kaiser class Heavy Battleships. Known for their devastating firepower, the Kaiser class delivers a resounding "Kaiser’s Salute" with a full volley from its Heavy Volt Gun Batteries to Port or Starboard, often being the last sight witnessed by targets abeam of these vessels.
Certain vessels, like the Heidelberg Class Battlecruiser, transport their own locomotives to ensure swift and efficient loading, unloading, and refitting at various ports. Accompanied by a pair of Bavarian Adler class engines, Heidelberg Battlecruisers boast expansive logistics staff and control centers, facilitating successful military operations.
The Elector Battlefleet Set comprises seven multi-part plastic and resin miniatures:
- 1x Elector Class Battleship. Each Battleship alternatively builds SMS Brandenburg, Heidelberg, SMS Holtzendorff, Kaiser, or SMS Tirpitz Class
- 2x Blucher Class Cruisers. Each Cruiser alternatively constructs Augustus or Schaumburg Class
- 4x Arminius Class Frigates
