Intensify Forward Firepower: Episode IV: "The First Transport is Away!" is available now at:

iff.podbean.com

In it, Dan, Eric, Steve, and Judson are excited to talk Wave 1! With the news that the ships and squadrons everyone has been waiting for are en route, Dan takes every opportunity to remind the rest of the crew that his have already been delivered. They talk about their latest Armada exploits, then hurtle headlong into a discussion of their initial Wave 1 impressions. This carries the four through Assault Frigate mentions, TIE Bomber drops, Gladiator quips, and unique squadron debates. Tune in as you wait with Steve, Eric and Judson - but not Dan - for your Wave 1 orders to arrive.

Bout **** time. I needed my IFF fix. Can't wait to listen.

second half of work just got better. Interested in hearing your thoughts on the Wave 1 releases and potential meta.

Of course we couldn't cover it all - had to cut ourselves off, truth be told - but it was fun to talk Armada-shop with the guys. Hopefully it's a good listen!

we'll be back sooner rather than later I'm sure!

I just wanted to tell the guys on the show that I appreciate it, and enjoy it. Thanks for the work you put in.

that Screed ability to trigger the Damage/Crit Icons may be too good to be true.

The more I think about it, the more I love Screed! And thank you guys for the kind comments!

I will definitely be trying screed with an OLP build to start.

I also feel their is something to a 3 VSD Motti Build, i mean its 6 more hull points and just deploy in a < ^ > formation and use the old 0 spd strat to cut down on amount of time they will engage you. Super cheesy, but probably still works really well. Maybe give the middle ship enhanced armaments if the points allow it.

I love Screed, but he is definitely meant for a black dice heavy fleet and it's ability to turn the die to a hit/crit facing for more damage. But he can situationally help trigger crit effects on other dice too. I just feel that approach isn't efficient enough to be worth his point value.

But with a Vic I, Glad I, Glad I fleet, his ability could tear enemy ships apart

I really enjoy the show guys. I love hearing you all "talk shop" about Armada. Not having a large group of devotees in these parts, I have to get my Armada discussion fix from the forums, the subreddit, and you guys.

...I friggin love Stah Woahs!

Really enjoying the show, fellas. Keep up the fantastic work.

Love these podcasts. Keep it up guys!

Thanks again guys! We'll probably do another one pretty soon. Wave I dropped at the WORST time for me- been so busy I haven't even gotten to play with it yet!

Love your work guys keep it up

Thanks folks, enjoying these greatly.
