Re: [OT] Noble Armada?

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.
