Hello I'm still fairly new to Armada as I've only played one game but other things kept me away and I'll leave it at that but I do need some help with 2 games I'm working on.

The first one is something my friends and I were talking about and it deals with an all Imperial game(both sides).

What I mean by that is a Civil War so to speak my friend told me that after the Emperor and Vader were killed you had the Empire somewhat split and this lead to some engagements were you had forces still loyal to the Empire and forces which were not.

So what would be a good 300pt game per side where you're just using Imperial forces any help would be grateful.

The other game is going to take place on Aug 1st(my pre Birthday game)where I plan on doing an Armada game with 6 or 8 players so what would be a good force makeup for both sides?

I do know that if one friend shows up he'll have at least one of every ship so far but if that doesn't happen here's what I have for my collection:

IMPERIAL

Victory class SD x2

Gladiator class SD x1

TIE Fighter Squadrons x6 plus one expansion box of Imperial Fighters

REBELS

Assault Frigate x1

Nebulon Frigate x2

CR-90 Corvette x2

X-Wing Squadrons x4 plus one expansion box of Rebel Fighters

Now add to that some other ships which'll be here before Aug 1 which are:

Imperial class SD x1

Mon Calamari Home One Cruiser x1

Imperial Raider x1

MC30 Frigate x1

Rogues and Villans pack

And I'm also working out a trade with a friend of mine who have a decent number of fighter squadrons but I'm not sure as to how many right now.

So if only my stuff will be used then what would be a good matchup?

This will also include upgrade cards etc.

So let me know.

Thanks

Michael

Just wondering if anyone has come up with some help/advice for me as my Birthday is fast approaching I do need some help with this.

Thanks

Michael

I doubt we'll see any wave 2 stuff by August 1st. We've had no ship previews, and wave to has just recently "gone to the printers".

As for fleet make up for 6-8 player game, no idea. More helpfully though: We have had pretty good success with a 3 person match. Rebels each got 200 (no duplicate uniques, one commander for both), empire had 400. Really good game. You probably expand that to say 600 aside, 200 pts a piece. If you are the only one list building either break down each 200 into fairly similar task forces, or conversly specialize. Put one person in charge of a carrier and lots of fighters, have another be small screening ships and some fighters, and have the last of heavy.

So with what you and your friend have available, for empire:

Player 1 will have a VSD and fighters with the fleet commander

Player 2 will have a pair of VSD

Player 3 will have 2 GSD and fighters.

Or

Player 1 has VSD, fighters, Com

Player 2 and 3 each have VSD, GSD a few fighter

Also at 600 pts you may want a full 6x4 or maybe 8x3(4) and either add a turn or two or go unlimited.

Indomitable thanks for the help for myself it all depends on if my friend with his Armada stuff comes he has at least one of each ship because if he doesn't show up then it'll be just the stuff that I have and I know that the other stuff might not arrive before August 1st but I can hope:).
