So from looking at the Victory class Star Destroyer I and II the differences seem to be that the Victory I has black dice instead of blue dice for its main guns and that the Victory I seems to have a torpedo/missile upgrade while the Victory II seems to have an ion cannon or turbolaser upgrade symbol instead.

I love the fact that Howlrunner is still the key to Tie Swarm victory, even in an entirely new system.
Did anyone measure the Victory yet? The official tournament play area is 3' x 6' so they must need some room to move around!
Interesting that the field is 6 ft wide....
Nice!
I just hope there maps for 3x3 I mean comeone not everyone has a 6 foot table.

Standard size will be 3x6 but that's also a 300 point game. From the demo it's pretty clear that a smaller, say 150-200 point game would fit on a 3x3 table quite easily.
But you can pick up a 4x8 sheet of sanded plywood at Menards or Homedepo for 25-30 bucks. Another 6-10 for 2 yards of black cloth. Cut 2 feet off the long end, then you have a 4x6 black table topper, leaving it at 4 foot wide, gives you 6 inches on each side for cards and tokens.
VanorDM That is a great idea now just got to find the place the wife will let me put it.

You do need access to a saw of some sort to take the 2 feet off...
But the nice thing is, a sheet of plywood doesn't take up a ton of space since it's so thin. So you could just stand it up in the back of a closet or something when you're not using it. Or even slide it behind the couch.

Most big box hardware stores will give you a free cut for something like that.

For the twitter feed, they're starting on Armada now.
Wow, quiet the wave 1!
Never heard of the Gladiator class and they went with the ugly Assault Frigate, but cool! More news!
Wave 1 will have the ships from the Core set, plus...
Gladiator Class SD
Assault Frigate Mk II
Rebel Fighter squads
Imperial Fighter squads
Boy, that Assault Frigate sure got beat over the head with an ugly stick...

That assault frigate looks really ugly, but it is hard to tell from that picture alone
The Assault Frigate is a little bigger than I expected but awesome news nonetheless.
Edited by WraithdtWhat all fighter types are included? I can't make them out in the picture
Gladiator SD is a 500m ship so on par with the Neb B.
Assault Frigate MkII is a 700m ship, so almost as big as a VSD.
The both look about the right size to me, based on the pic's.
Edited by VanorDMWorried a bit about scale of the frigate vs VSD... hard to tell from the pic. Wonder if bases will be standard size like in X-wing or different. If they are the same it "lookS" like its almost bigger then the VSD even though it is almost 25% shorter.
EDIT: sorry base looks bigger on frigate so hard to tell but looks be be zoomed in the pic vs the VSD.

The pic doesn't do it much injustice unfortunately.
So the Gladiator is like a missile/torpedo cruiser, kind of interesting I guess...

They said X-Wing and Y-Wings, so I'd guess either Tie Fighters and Bombers or Interceptors.
