Yep, it seems Spartan is back on the horse with producing new games!
Kraggi at the Varcan Cluster and the guys at Element 270 has the official press release, so I'll just link to them:
Personally, I think that this is just what Spartan should be doing when producing new games: Looking at what their existing minis could be used for, produce a rule set for that particular instance, perhaps with some accompanying support in the form of new models (like these).
Interest generated in the new game, interest generated in the parent game system, and with some small conversion work regarding rules a large model base with little effort (I'd actually assume that a few Armada ships will have Taskforce rules upon release, but I know what happens when I assume...).
I've already ordered a few sets (two starter sets get me enough to field full squads in Armada, and choose how I want to equip the Medium Squadron in Taskforce (Two Cruiser-carriers? No problem!)
Even with terrain setup, a game of Taskforce should play nicely in about and hour, a rare sweet spot in mini gaming...
