Awesome news - should we look for information about its release here or over at the ADB site? Thank you. I will make an effort to keep both places up to date. With any luck First Campaigns won't take too long to get ready for release. That is the demo version of Federation Admiral. -Jay Sounds grea...

Interesting thoughts. I have to admit that I don't really want ground units split into different set types (infantry,armor, etc), I'd prefer that they used a construction system similar to ships, and allow the player to decide what exactly those stats represent. One of the problems with coming up w...

It seems between your response and Will's, we can agree on Task Force = Army, but have to decide on whether Squadron = Corps or Division. I am thinking that Corps would be better, as each ground unit in the Corps would effectively be a division. A colony's Census will define the maximum SIZ of grou...

Note: Trade Fleets and Transport Fleets are also gone. Civilian Fleets, which we may just rename Convoys to shorten it, are still around and fairly cheap, but they end up essentially being no-maintenance units that are built and stored in a Convoy Pool, and each effectively has 1 Cargo Rating avail...

So far so go Tyrel. It was a tad late for me when I read this. My question is: you mention game turns and game year, so will we have a carryover of 12 turns (months) per year a la VBAM 1.0 or will 2.0 move to something more abstract (but playable) in a 10 turn per year game system? I like the idea o...
