Firestorm Armada is a simple to learn and tactically deep space-naval wargame, where players pit fleets of mighty space vessels against each other. The game is made by the all-round ADHD games company Spartan Games, who are famous for free rules and cheap models.
Played a game recently, Terrans vs Sorylians. The new cruiser squadrons for Terrans is interesting, adding in that shield cruiser to bulk numbers and increase the effectiveness of shields.
I'm trying to get my hands on the old PDF rulesbooks for Firestorm Armada, not for the god awful rules, but for the terrain templates.
Have some paper cutout fleets to get yourself started.

Currently working on my Terran fleet. Going for blue with yellow trim and silver under-structure.
Going for the Army Painter two-tone comic-book look.

Dindrenzi Fleet, don't tread on me frontier colonists.
Forward fixed kinetic weapons are the call of the day.

The Directorate. Use more advanced rules, but they are a lot of fun. They use a smattering of rules from all the other races.

My ordinary photography. We had poor light and phone cameras.
Played a game over the weekend. 1200 points, Terran vs Sorylians.
My opponent wanted to try the Shunt Entry rules, but for some reason decided that 500 points of his fleet would be in reserve. What was left on the table did fare very well. His cruiser squadron shunted in but rolled snake-eyes on the shunt entry table, not a great result, He burned a TAC card to change the result, but rolled double 6s instead. My battlecruisers availed themselves on his wayward squadron.
He did manage to turn the table quite well when his battleship shunted in amidst my fleet. Nasty.

Well I'm busy cooking dinner right now, so I should probably stop samefagging for a while. If anyone has any questions about this great game, or would like to regale us with a tale of The Little Frigate That Could...
Ask away, I'll be around.

What about support and further releases? This is Spartan "ADHD" Games after all.

I talked to Neil at Gencon. We're getting a new two player box in Oct. Soryliens and relthoza
Thomas Mitchell
Used to play quite heavily until the folks around me moved away. Ended up selling my pathogen fleet.
