I'll be posting more later this week:
http://doodlebot.net/redoubt/?p=265
This was from the morning non-Klingon Armada Starmada AE game.
Has anyone played this enough to be able to give recommendations concerning what to get first?
I'm looking at ADB's squadron boxes #1 and #2. That'll give me:
Federation:
1x FF
1x Old CL
1x CA
1x BC
1x DN
Klingons:
1xF5
2xD6/D7
1xC7
1xC8
Will this give me enough for it to stay interesting for a while? Are those two forces roughly equivalent in points totals? Would you consider these forces tiny,small,average,big,etc given the rule system?
Getting ADB minis in Denmark will cost me quite a bit, so I want to get a selection that will serve me well from the start.
Those two forces are fairly balanced and should give you enough options for several battles.
How about the mini campaign scenarios, what miniatures would be needed to run the mini campaign?
I get 1621 for the Feds and 1775 for the Klingons (taking 2 D7s) which is a pretty good size fleet. I normally play about 1000 points per player as a start so that should keep you busy for a while. If you add Squadron box #6, it gets you 1890 points worth of Kzinti so you can mix and match the three fleets!

So far I've been liking the ship design, with the Klingons feeling right. They're my old faction from SFB, and I'm glad to have them. One oddity I noticed in the rules, though. Why are Bases listed as being incompatible with Flotillas? I've read through it a few times, and can't see any reason for this.

Note that "incompatible" means that you can't have a flotilla of starbases, not that you can't use starbases and flotillas in the same game.
I guess there's no specific reason why the combination is disallowed... I just felt the concept seemed silly. 
Got my copy today, very happy. Unfortunately my wife has a paper to write. Don't think I can wait that long to match a CA against a D7.
Looking forward to Romulan Armada so I have an excuse to buy some of the NCA, NCL, and Romulan minis.

Oh, okay, that makes a lot more sense then. Hopefully I'll get to actually play a couple of games this week.

Actually you already have an excuse to buy some NCL -> http://www.starfleetgames.com/documents/CL40_Starmada_Cards.pdf

I thank you. My gaming budget...not so much.
