Announcing: Fleets at War: Theater of Operations

There's another project I'm working on that I'm calling Fleets at War: Theater of Operations. It basically adds a strategic element to the Fleets at War line of games, allowing players to move fleets (or at least task forces) around a map of the Imperium-Magna border. Then, when the two sides meet on the strategic map, they can either play out the battle on a tactical map using the counters provided, or use the counters from the original Fleets at War! game.

I'm also including a mechanism for calculating the amount of resources available to each side, based on how many planets they control, which they can then use to purchase additional ships. This will allow players to decide which types of ships they want and organize them as they see fit.

Essentially, Theater of Operations will create a strategic tier, with Fleets at War! in the middle and Fighter Wing in the lowest (most detailed) tier.  If players are especially ambitious, they could play a campaign game with all three levels.
