Armada obstacles in X-Wing?

By MrkvChain, in X-Wing

Hi everyone,

I just wondered whether anyone uses the Armada obstacles in X-Wing? Especially the space station, since for asteroids and debris fields there are rules in X-Wing.

For those who don't have armada, one of the included obstacles is a space station. Whenever a ship overlaps it at the end of the movement phase, it can discard one damage card.

So, has anyone used it, and found a rule for X-Wing that works?

Wouldn't the space station be bigger than the entire 3x3 table? Using the scale in EaW, which the station is from.

Armada is a weird game: You rarely ever smack obstacles if you fly to avoid them.

The tokens work though. And there's no reason not to. I'd jsut put a limit on the regen: only once per ship.

You can imagine the stupid of Fat Han with C3PO doing 1hard turns on that thing, getting all incoming shots obstructed by that station. Its STUPID>

The rocks being different size really make no difference to a decent player.

I can't see the space station in play. The asteroids are the same sizes as the big one so probably not. I think it would be cool to say switch up the scenery as we finally now get to play games without the same 6 obstacle tokens. As of now I think they are kept separate for simplicity sake.
