So once again, I've searched around the Internet for some reviews of this game:
- From Pen and Lead (Jan. 2010): Firestorm Armada Comments and Basic Review
- From Segmentum Michigandus (Jan. 2010): Firestorm Armada:The Review - Part 1
- From The Varcan Cluster (Jan. 2010): Review Firestorm Armada
- From Ironhead Station (July 2010): Firestorm Armada
- From Beast's Wargaming Blog (Sept. 2010): Firestorm Armada Fleets
- From HERO'S Gaming Blog (Jan. 2011): Firestorm Armada
I've only played it properly once and it's fun. A very light weight (but still fairly tactical) starship combat game that allows you to field about 20 or so minis without much trouble.
ReplyDeleteIf I'd make a complaint it would be that it feels... impersonal. I'm not sure if it's the abstractness of the rules, the absence of fluff or a combination of both.
The Full Thrust rules, for example, has a lot more "atmosphere" and makes for a more memorable game, in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, I just have a hard time getting really fired up about it.
Martin, thanks for sharing your thoughts. And nice job on your EDF fleet!
