New ACTA is .... Noble Armada

[Renny]

The new license/setting for ACTA has been revelaed as Noble Armada, part of the fading Suns setting. I know very little about this but Mike guessed before the oficial announcement . I'll wait to see what they reveal about the plans for the game before getting too carried away. I'm a bit MEH at the moment.

put it together about 7.30 last night, I was not going to post on the mongoose forums, but then i thought of all the times the rules were revised and
the rulebooks that refused to stay together and so i thought that a little rain on Mr Spranges parade seamed apropriate,

Having read the forums, I don't think it's getting the support that Mongoose was hoping for!

Oh what a shame!!

Probbaly give it a go, but with FA available and my old ACTA ships, why should I bother?

[Renny]

This is due out at the end of February. Anyone have the slightest interest?

[Digger]

Nope - Having met some ACTA players on Saturday at a campaign tourney; there was not the slightest bit of interest!

In the words of Neville Chamberlain "Herr Sprange has missed the bus"

To little, to late! I await to be surprised, but I don't think I will be!

[Renny]

So does this mean you're not going to buy it. I think you're right but i'm just curious. Because people buying it out of curiosity still means sales to the lesser spotted Mongoose.
I will not be buying it unless the game is one adopted by the group and I have an urge to play but i'm guessing if you don't buy into it, no one else will.

If I want to play big fleet battles I would use FA. If I want to play smaller actions then good old FT will do and if I want to play ship on ship then I would use, er... SFB

D-Man we still need to give Firestorm Armada a go.

[Digger]

I will not be buying NA, unless I hear some really good reports.

I am hoping to run a game as soon as the mini's are ready; but can run a test game using my ACTA mini's if anyone is interested?

[Great Teufel]

I'd give it a go.

[Digger]

I will want to hear some good reports before I play, I think I have too many mini games as it is!!

[Renny]

Never thought i'd see the day when Digger would pass on ACTA. Still, I agree with your reasoning and I have even less motivation than you. Tell you what, if you want to organise a game of Firestorm Armada, I'd be interested in at least giving it a go. Let me know.

[Digger]

Sounds like a great idea - I will put some thoughts together and should be able to announce next Tuesday!

[Digger]

Oh this is so sweet to hear! The Mongoose open day for Noble Armada has been cancelled due to...........lack of interest!!

Fuck them! they should never have got rid of ACTA, may they crash and burn!!

Made my day this has!

[rogartheranger]

Ha ha ha ha - yeah serves them right. Maybe they'll now have to bring back the original ACTA again?

[Digger]

I wish they would Chris, but I think they lost the licence when Matt Sprange pissed off WB!
