Any thoughts?
I'm intrigued by a space fleet game for the first time ever. Looks like it will retail for US$140

I'm going to check it out at Gen Con and see if it's interesting or not.

I will try and get some. Maybe they will have sneak peaks of other Halo stuff.

I also plan to check it out at GenCon. We'll see! I wonder if it's just a rehashed FSA...

I hope not. If so it will still be good for the ships, I really dig the alien designs and the human ships aren't bad.

I've never heard of FSA, but HALO is the first space combat game I've ever had my interest piqued by.

Never heard of Firestorm Armada?
That game actually got pretty good market penetration for a while, then people kinda realized it was exactly the same rules as Uncharted Seas and Dystopian Wars. "Exploding" d6s (roll a 6, roll again and add/count as another success). Not that it's a terrible rule system, but it's rather generic.
As far as Halo Fleet goes, I expect the big carriers and battleships to be ~6" long or so, cruisers ~3", and the escort ships in the 1-2" range. Fighters (are there fighters in the HALO universe?) as bumps on a base, basically 2.5d counters instead of minis.
