Steve Cole wrote in his dayblog for 23 March 2012: I spent two hours on Fed Admiral, making Jay W’s changes to previous pages and getting two new pages done. Not much, but it’s back on the regular work list (I hope it stays there). The big deal with Mongoose, involving the new 2500 miniatures line a...

Fed Admiral is on the Fall schedule as of 1 August, http://www.starfleetgames.com/prod_schedule.shtml

To be Released in September
Federation Admiral, Stock #4080, $TBA.

Folks, you must remember that there are licensing issues here. SFU products must be consistent with the SFU background database, as part of the license ADB has with Paramount. (I don't know much about the license, but I have gathered that from following discussions on their BBS for years). I also th...

I believe Steve Cole's caffeine addiction of choice is Diet Dr. Pepper

ADB has posted a draft of the FA cover art on their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150099843343280&set=a.324701708279.150256.231728653279&theater To the best of my knowledge, there has been no preview of the final art anywhere yet. I'll leave it to your judgement if i...

This from the latest "star fleet alert" retailer press release which you can find at http://starfleetgames.com/Alert_110125_Schedule.pdf MARCH Federation Admiral: This will be a very large book of campaign rules, designed to work with Federation Commander, but they will also work with Star...

This is not an official answer... Federation Admiral is, I believe, VBAM but tailored specifically to the Star Fleet Universe background (and particularly the Federation Commander game system in the SFU). You should be able to take other VBAM expansions and rules and use them in your Federation Admi...

Federation Admiral, a campaign manual designed to work with Federation Commander, will be released this spring. It will also work with Star Fleet Battles, and will provide players with everything they need to create their own campaigns at any level (strategic, regional, or local). This will be one ...

Excellent news!

I strongly like what I have seen of the local campaign rules. They look like excellent small scenario generators for FC/SFB.

Well, I'm a regular reader of the ADB boards, and Prime Directive Federation is now very close to completion. Jean Sexton, the head of RPGs for ADB, Inc. went down and they spent nine solid days getting things done. With that pretty much out of the way, Steve Cole & staff are working on F&E ...

That list of things that have to get done before FA can even be looked at doesn't include the most important thing of all that out prioritises even those things.

What is that most important thing of all which out prioritises even those things?

[/code]

I don't think that is fair to say. It'll get done. It'll probably need a big chunk of Jean Sexton's (the ADB proofreader's) time, and that's in short supply since she's working on Prime Directive Federation atm. And the roleplaying market dwarfs (pardon the pun) the strategy gaming market. It's an i...

The cover art for Federation Commander: Tholian Attack is actually somewhat epic. For something that doesn't have 6 millimetre tall genetically engineered supersoldiers.

Ooooh, is it beautiful and suitably epic?

It is definitely beautiful.

But is it epic? This is VBAM! It must be EPIC!

Steve Cole posted a memo in regards to the Federation Admiralty project in the FA section of the www.starfleetgames.com forums. I won't cross-post it here, since I'm not sure what the policy is regarding that on the starfleetgames site and Steve may prefer discussion to happen on the star fleet game...
