Hey Everyone!
I've been playing Firestorm Armada for about a year, and first heard about Spartan Games (including Dystopian Wars) about two years ago. I'm a reformed 40K player, and decided to pick up Firestorm Armada after reading about it online at several locations. I'm still impressed with how well-balanced the game is, and the level of depth available.
I picked up the Dindrenzi first, with the intent of picking up an Aquan fleet second, painting them like the UNSC and Covenant, and applying to be a Vanguard. The best laid plans... turns out I'm much more interested in playing than painting, so I barely have my initial Dindrenzi models painted. If Halo Fleet Battles had been released a year sooner, I would have dived into that without a thought. Now, I don't see a reason to play that when I'm so invested in Firestorm Armada.
I also started a website,
www.ops-center.weebly.com, about the same time I started playing. I mostly wanted to make Battle Reports to teach people how to play, and how to play better... But it turns out it takes a lot more time to make the style of Battle Report I envisioned. Besides, right now I'm too busy trying to put together a Firestorm Armada Event for the 2016 NOVA Open.
