- A release announcement from Spartan:
"Spartan
Games is most excited to
announce that Firestorm Armada

the world on November 23rd. Following in
the footsteps of our incredibly successful
Uncharted Seas fantasy naval game, Firestorm
Armada builds on the foundations of
this game to bring you easy to master
rules, superb multi-part models (with
spaceships up to 170mm long) and exciting
action in a war torn area of space we call
the Storm Zone."
At launch Firestorm
Armada brings you four exciting
fleets to begin your space combat: the
Dindrenzi Federation, Terram Alliance,
Aquan Prime and Sorylian Collective.
Supporting these models is a 96 page full
colour rule book, punch out A4 tokens and

still busy supporting their other games
and tweaking FA.
4/24/2009 - Spartan
Games has pushed Firestorm
Armada back to a June release so
they can spend May supporting their
fantasy naval game and better prepare for
the initial release of this game.
2/22/2009 -
According to the forums on the Spartan
Games website, they are busy doing the
final playtesting for Firestorm:
Armada so it looks like they will
get this game into production soon.
Lucky for us, they were
using actual miniatures of the first 4
fleets to be released and they did take
pictures so we can all see them.

7/2/2008 - More
info about Firestorm: Armada
is now available. The game is due
out in late October 2008 and they plan
to star selling fleets by
September. More images of the sculpts
for the miniatures have been posted here.
5/15/2008 -
Spartan Games has listed under their
products Firestorm: Armada with a
proposed launch date of 3rd Quarter of
2008.
This is an action
packed game of starship combat set within
the boundaries of the Firestorm Universe.
War has erupted in the space surrounding
the Terran Worlds and nothing looks set to
stop the Invaders. Race after race has
been plunged into the abyss of the
conflict and no one race has so far been
able to stop the relentless invaders. Now
the Terran Alliance has been forced to
react with the full capability of its
military machine.
You
will control powerful fleets of frigates,
cruisers, battleships, fighter carriers
and transport ships as you fight as a
Terran commander, an Invading fleet
commander or one of the outlying star
systems that has allied itself with the
Terrans to combat the threat.
Our models are
primarily from resin with some white metal
components. A full colour rule book
supports the models, along with decks of
game cards, templates, tokens, historical
background documents and much, much more.
Who will you be? A
Defender or an Invader.
