Fighting for the Cause

Your Armada battles aren’t meaningless confrontations. You’re fighting them to make progress within the Galactic Civil War. You’re waging battles over key tactical concerns. The fate of the galaxy is at stake.

With twelve familiar objectives, Armada defines your confrontations and immerses you more fully in its Star Wars experience. At the beginning of each game, you and your opponent will select one of these objectives, which introduces special rules and helps to define the narrative of your battle. Are you tracking down a specific target? Are you contesting a key outpost? Are you trying to intercept key intel?

so just found this section under the Star wars: Armada product information window ( https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/star-wars-armada/ )

and have never seen this or seen anyone mention this, and WOW moving obstacles!!

of course i might have seen it and just glossed over it or something but still this deserves discussion (which i have defiantly not seen)

Its funny, because I saw those a few weeks (a month?) back in one of the articles and saw almost no discussion either.

To lazy to link the article, but didn't it say that each person brings 3 of these and then your opponent picks 1 of them for you to complete?

It will be an interesting twist.

Failed/forgot to mention them after our test game. Will most likely be included in my mate's review (stay tuned)

Even though there's been little discussion, this is actually one of the things that makes me so interested in Armada. I know there are scenarios/missions in XWM, but the way these objectives are integrated into the standard game is much better IMO.

I think these objectives and the way they are selected are going to add a lot of depth to the gameplay... I am picturing a scene similar to The Princess Bride: "Only a great fool would choose that objective, so I can clearly not choose objective number three. But you must have known that I would come to that conclusion, so..."

I remember discussion about them in one of the longer threads. I'd look it up and link, if I weren't on my phone.

But, yes, they were noticed and discussed.

Here you go - a whole thread about objectives, plus later in there is some that I manually typed out from watching a video where I spotted some cards. https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/132415-objectives/
