[OT] Noble Armada?

Saw another space miniature game yesterday called _Noble Armada_. On the
back of the box it saids there are 32 plastic ships included. Has anyone seen
this?

Seen, played, and owned.

However, only time I played was at GenCon. I found the
mechanics counter-intuitive, but that was a single play,
and the designer/demo-presenter admitted he was nursing
a nasty hangover combined with lack of sleep. ;->=

Also, I've never felt comfortable with FTFB's vector system, so add that to
YMMV.

Hex-based, with 20-sided die used for both rolling attacks
and marking ships' velocity.

The figs are the new Silent Death silver-coloured plastic,
but obviously a smaller scale, maybe SD-escort compatible.

One thing to remember is it is associated with the RPG Fading Suns, and has
rules for boarding that are fairly important to the play.

It's sitting in the pile of 'must get back and try again' pile. I'll dig it
out and bash a description of the play I had difficulty working out, unless
someone else comes along and steals my thunder, which I won't mind a bit.

Preferably by a proponent. I could stand to learn from a positive review.

I'd also be interested in more information about this game. I have some credit
at a local game store that I need to burn off before I leave town. And yes,
I've already placed the order for GeoHex Dirtside2 miniatures (needed some
Islamic Fed infantrymen for my Nuke St.Louis scenario). But then I earned more
credit through no fault of my own and there isn't time to place another order,
so...

I did see a web page review of this somewhere, but it didn't provide many
details. I'll see if I can find that page again.
