When will Distant Armada Unity and Battleships Armada Unity be released? I was made to understand that the work on them had been completed.

We are waiting for Daniel K to deliver them. He doesn't work in Amarillo so we don't control the pace of his progress. I know he was held up on art but I think I sent him all he wanted.

Jean, will Battleships Armada also be coming soon, or is it going to be held back for some reason?

We are just waiting for Daniel to send it. It will not be held back by ADB. Just this minute I sent a note to Daniel asking about when to expect it.

I spoke with Daniel Sunday. Battleships attack is almost finished except for art, and he sent me the list of art he needs. 90% of it already exists and I just have to find it in the file, which is tricky since it is filed by SFB numbers that FC and Starmada do not reference.

Okay, so it should be fairly soon. Thank you for the update.

Battleships Armada: I sent him all of the art since the last post and it seems plausible that he now has everything he needs, but there are a lot of ships and he's going to check the list again. I had to (today) go to non-pod versions of all tugs and LTTs so he could do both versions in the game.

In theory everything could go perfectly and we'd have the final PDF in about ten days. It will not go perfectly ( nothing every does) and I'm going to be out all of next week. But I feel good saying "end of March" should see it released.

Something else Armada: I think there is another one floating around but I don't remember. Maybe we already did it.

Rumors of Wars: This is the big one, the first truly new module, and he's working on it but obviously can only do one product at a time.

I emailed with Daniel K yesterday. He has all of the art he needs to finish BATTLESHIP ARMADA.

He says that is the last NOVA/ADMIRAL product to be converted to UNITY.

He says he will get to work on RUMORS OF WARS very soon. (He has already done most of it.)

Thank you for the info. So, Battleships in a month or so, Andromedans hopefully later this year. Great!

My understanding is that BATTLESHIPS ARMADA was done except for art and I sent all the art. The final files could arrive in 3d6 days (inserting the art is tricky). At that point, Jean and Leanna have to upload it to the web stores, which by itself can take a few days as the big files have to be FTPed and Jean/Leanna have more to do than just this.

As for RUMORS OF WARS I have no prediction other than later this year. Remember that this product involves a lot of new weapons rules that have to be tested.
