Starfleet Tactical #186: Strategic Space Command Galactic Cruiser LEIF ERICSON! [21 Feb 2026@9pmET]
For a model kit from the 1960s that is the sole entry in an aborted line of kits, the AMT Strategic Space Command Galactic Cruiser LEIF ERICSON has had a surprisingly long and eventful life. Designed by Matt Jeffries (who designed the ENTERPRISE for Star Trek), this kit has been reissued several times and even appeared in Niven and Pournelles classic The Mote in Gods Eye as the battlecruiser MACARTHUR.
So once again its time to get in touch with our inner 12 year old. Lets look at the LEIF ERICSON.
STARFLEET TACTICAL is the YouTube show where we talk about the intersection of naval history and science fiction, with some gaming occasionally thrown in for flavor. Primary host Chris Weuve is a naval analyst and wargame designer, whose superpower is that he can talk about Real World(tm) navies and science fiction navies at the same time.
CHRISTOPHER WEUVE is a professional naval analyst and wargame designer. He is a co-founder of the Connections Online wargame conference, held every April via YouTube. Outside the day job, Chris is a co-founder of BuNine (David Webers Honorverse analytic visualization team), and has also consulted with Chuck Gannon, Walter Hunt, Alec Peters, Tom Harlan, John Lumpkin, and others. His work has been featured by Baen Books, the US Naval War College Review, Foreign Policy, and the Discovery Channel. Since May 2020 hes been the co-host (with Pat Doyle) of Starfleet Tactical on the Ares Studio channel on YouTube. His hobbies are naval history, science fiction, and not speaking for his employer.
