About the game

Noble Armada is a tabletop miniatures game of spaceship combat in the Fading Suns role-playing universe. Players do not have to be familiar with the RPG game in order to play as Noble Armada is designed to be a stand-alone starship combat game. Combat ranges from long distance torpedo strikes to boarding actions with space suited marines. The original boxed game came with rules, large hex play mats and over 30 plastic starships and stands to play the game. Holistic later re-released the game as two separate items: the rules (which includes counters and the other materials (minus ships) necessary to play) AND the spaceship models sold as Ships of the Line.
