Starter Set

[Armydillo978]

Will there be one, like ACTA had?

 

[Clanger]

The original 1st edition oble Armada had a good starter set. Hex maps, counters, ship sheets, rules and a shed oad of plastic mims (4 Hawkwood Explorers, Frigates, Galliots, 4 Decados Raiders, Frigates, Galliots, 4 League Escorts and League Cargo Ships).

Hopefully the starter set will contain some thing along these lines. A basic little fleet to play with.

Could do a starter set for each House Faction.

The current plan is to have an (inexpensive but durable) rulebook, with five starter fleets - one for every main Royal House - released in February. The starter fleets will all be around 1,500 points, which is enough for a small campaign, priced at $29.99 or £20.

We'll be annoucning the specific contents of each very soon!

Can we expect a pdf of the rulebook at the same time (or earlier)?

How many ships on average is ~1,500 points?

Will the ship stats and record cards be in the main rule book, or in a separate fleet book? Or will they come with the fleet boxes/starter sets?

 

[MongooseMatt]

All ship stats will be in the main book. We are also looking at doing some 'wipeable' data cards for each ship.

 

[Burger]

Coolness. If the cards come with the fleet boxes then it will avoid the Drakh/Dilgar situation, where each new fleet had an extra book to buy as well as the minis. Pretty soon we were all carrying around 4 or 5 books to every tournament, and that was with just 2 new races.

Is there likely to be a Traveller version of this game at some point?

Well, it has been discussed However, that will be down to Redbrick.

Laminated cards really do help, especially if they give you a place to put the critical levels on.

The various home-brew ACTA 1e and 2e did help a lot keeping the game going.

if you make the cards the same size as a warmachine card then they will fit in those little plastic sleeves so are wipe able,,, could save a few pennies for production.
