Heard the Fleet Signal
« on: January 17, 2016, 02:18:28 pm »
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.

Greetings Ryjak
Hopefully you'll find some good stuff around MBS.
I've visited your website and I really like some of the resources you have there.
Can't wait to see some of those battle reports.

I wrote one battle report, which I posted in the Articles Section:

All Other Priorities Recinded:

That took a lot of work, simply documenting what happened each activation.  I've been trying to create a time-lapse video since then, but haven't been successful yet.
