I have the core set, but I've seen several comments that the included dice are not enough. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

One more dice pack should do you. I picked up an extra dice pack and it made life a lot easier.

If you don't get another Core Set, which I didn't, buy the dice expansion for 7-10 bucks.

With just the core set you will occasionally have to reroll a die memorizing the die. In the core this happens if you attack with an X-Wing, with Tie-Fighters supported by Howlrunner and sometimes with concentrate fire commands.

It is, at best, an inconvenience.

One Dice set will easily fix that for you and I have yet to come across a situation where those wouldn't be enough.

If you play more than just 1 star wars game the dice app gets you more than enough dice. I'll just put that forward as an option, if you don't have a tablet or phone then good old regular dice may just have to do.

I can recommend a 2nd dice pack.

Separately or with a 2nd core. (I'd do the first but YMMV)

I got a dice pack and while it was a bit annoying to do it (I think more dice should have come with core but that's another discussion) I like having the extra dice.

I don't think I'd pick up a 2nd pack though, one was/is enough.

Awesome - thanks everyone!

Agreed. I really think they should have had 4 of each colour dice.

My thoughts as well...

Have as many dice as needed for a single roll for any particular component included with the core game.

A small quibble in my book, but one that just annoys me.

Agreed. I really think they should have had 4 of each colour dice.

then there's be next to no reason to buy the dice pack...

4 of a given color seems to be plenty for 75% of the dice rolling you do. You have to start getting into AF Mk2 side arc with enhanced armament and a CF or Opening Salvo before you need more than 4 of any colored dice.

yes, exactly. I should not have to pay 100 dollars for a game that does not supply enough dice.

Armada has enough dice to play the game, just don't have as many as some people might wish to have.

Some games don't provide any dice. Most don't provide enough if they have any in the box, even ones that cost $100 or more. Many games don't even include everything you need to play in the starter box, and require you to spend money on other books.

Feel free to rail against the status quo if you want, but that's how it's done. Hard to sell a dice pack when there's enough dice in the box.

I'd rather have more dice in the core set myself, so I don't have to buy more. But we all knew what we were getting in the core box.

It has less die than you need to roll common non-upgraded rolls with the ship in the box. We're not talking edge cases here. At a minimum they should have included 4 blue die to make that statement.

No, because you could actually do it with only 1 die. It has less dice than most anyone would want I agree. Definitely less than is convenient. But there are in fact enough dice to play the game as is.

Maybe I can sell you one of each colour Elkerlyc if my stuff ever arrives!

No need. I haz 6 now.

(YES! I got wave 1 yesterday!)

I play with my wife, and it's definitely good to have two sets per person if you are playing with other people in your household or friends who don't have Armada. So you can't go wrong with having to many dice.

Wait, only one person is ever rolling dice at a time. Can't you....share with your opponent? There, 6 dice of each color, minimum!

6 of each color seems to be the magic number right now. I actually can only think of one way that you would need 7 of just the red and that is an Opening Salvo, Assault Frigate with Enhanced Armaments and a concentrate fire dial (wave 2 will make this up to 9 with akbar)

Well after watching Wedge roll 6 dice against me and looking at my possible chances to roll more than 4 dice my bad feelings about there only being 3 has faded away. It seemed annoying at first but now I can totally justify buying the dice pack to have 6 of each color instead of just having 4.
