Hi everyone!

My cohost, my brother, and I will be playing in an Armada tournament this weekend. We wanted to use this episode to talk about our plans and fleets for the tournament.

Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

Thanks!

Just took a listen. Nice job. It was really interesting to hear a different opinion on Squadrons right now. Seems like most of the IFF podcast guys are very negative on fighters but you guys were much more positive about their abilities and the threat the pose.

I was also surprised that you guys were talking about using both GSD types since post people use the GSD I pretty exclusively. Again, good to hear alternative opinions.

Please post again when you guys talk about the tournament results. Good luck and may the Force be with you.

Thanks,

Duncan

Are you on iTunes ? Been waiting for a good podcast for this game. Will this be a regular thing ? Good luck at tournament.

I prefer GSD II myself.

Wow, nice to hear logical drawn out discussion is great.

Glad you enjoyed it! We'll definitely be talking about the tournament results in next weeks episode. I'll make sure to post it here.

Personally, I don't know how to use squadrons well myself yet and i've gone against players that used bombers very very effectively. I have a healthy respect for the damage they can do. Death of a thousand cuts.

Yes! We are on iTunes. Here's the link: iTunes

We don't always talk about Armada, though it does come up quite frequently since it's a game we love very much. We also discuss other games both digital and physical, sci-fi, movies, science, geek news, futurism, etc.

Next weeks episode will have Armada content also for sure since we'll be covering the tournament results. Here are all of our previous episodes tagged as containing Armada content if you are interested: Armada ahoy!

Wow, nice to hear logical drawn out discussion is great.

Thanks! I love being able to go a bit in-depth on a single topic for episodes like this.

Cool, more stuff to fill my iPod with.

Have you checked out Intensify Forward Firepower? I'd say it definitely meets your criteria of a good podcast for this game!

Yes several episodes. Not a fan at all.

I am trying to listen to he podcast but you guys say so many wrong things. . .

Nathan's explanation of ACMs and XI7 for one. . . And so many more. . .

Keep at it guys. How did your expectations before the tourney compare aftewards?

How'd the tournament go? Would love to hear about it.

Yes several episodes. Not a fan at all.

Good, there's no room on Star destroyer for you anyways! Just kidding

Yea, we are very amateur and screw things up a lot. Part of our charm perhaps? Thanks for the listen! We'll try to get our facts straight a bit better in the future.

Thanks guys! Our newest episode is up and we discuss the tournament. You can find it here: http://armchairgeeks.com/podcast/armchairgeeks-32-tournament-results/

Overall the competition was a bit tougher than anticipated. Lots of unique fleets though which is good. Glad to see the game hasn't mired down into a single type of meta that wins overall. Sorry if I sound a slight bit out of it this episode. Had just gotten back from class and brain was going a bit slower than usual.

One thing I forgot to mention in the show is just how great the community for this game is. My brother and one of our other friends were able to show up with practically nothing for the game and people were more than happy to lend ships, parts, etc so that everyone could enjoy the day. The tournament was supposed to be for 12 people and we ended up with 14 playing anyway. It was great! The awesome host of the event, Meeple Madness, was just spectacular as well. Love that store.
