During the live stream of Armada @Worlds2015, Alex Davy let slip that he "may or may not be" working on Wave 4.
That would make sense, its very likely that wave 3 is finished development and may be in early production.
I would not expect to see Wave 3 before May next year.

Good call.
Considering that it has taken at least 6 months between announcement and release for all Armada products so far, May would be a good bet... But only if they announce this month.
Edited by admiralcrunchI hope before the holiday as I have a large order and part of it is my remaining Wave 1 which they will ship when wave 2 items come in. I only have half a fleet!!!
I think as long as Wave 2 gets here before Christmas we're good.
Thing is, as soon as Wave 1 hit it was sold out in minutes, at least on the FFG site (in fact it was sold out instantaneously). So I'm thinking when Wave 2 gets here it will vanish like a sandcastle in a hurricane. Which means if you didn't preorder anywhere you might have a wait ahead of you :C
Fortunately Wave 1 stuff is available now at least, so when Wave 3 hits, wave 2 will be in sufficient numbers to supply everyone. Just from what we know though, I think Wave 1 and 2 material is going to be sufficient to supply Rebel and Empire players for a long time regardless of future expansions. You can already create a number of pretty good lists with the new squadrons and ships out now to have the flexibility that makes this game satisfying to build for and play.
The only way this could change is if they introduce some new mechanic that is deemed essential for the game. I'm thinking something equivalent to Boost or Modifications in X-Wing, which really changed that game when they became a thing in the early meta. Just hoping that isn't the case for Armada... I'd welcome new ships, but not for the sake of requiring game-changing mechanics simply to remain competitive.
Yeah in the numbers my FLGS will probably stock this it won't take much to evaporate stock. Good thing I already pre-ordered 1 of everything and can fill gaps as budget and stocking allows.
I expect all stock to evaporate. Mainly the Squadron Packs. That is why I have recommended to all stores I go to, to carry at least a half dozen to a full dozen.

FFG has stated in the past with other products taht they are generally working about a year and a half in the future per product line.
I both can and cannot wait for Wave 2 to drop. On the one hand, patience can lead to a much greater reward in the end. On the other, I would like to be able to try a list that involves something besides VSDs, TIE Fighters, and Howlrunner. Oh, and before anyone asks, apparently the only Gladiators I can buy are the reprints, which are on the boat with Wave 2.
I'm the same place. While I have some preorder stuff also coming in on that boat, I'm one of the few lucky enough to win an Imperial in Sullust. I'm afraid to say I enjoy crushing my opponents with overwhelming firepower that only the Imperial can bring to the table. Once wave 2 hits everyone will have that option.
Well... With the status still on boat, guess my LGS was wrong and It won't be out on 11/20. Sorry people...
Need to have a talk with them...
Or the status page is wrong?
you never know how close to actual changes the status gets an update. a lag of a few days?
I swear by newt
Release schedule is getting ridiculously slow considering how much fanfare and advertising of new waves gets 6months before they're even going to show. So disappointed with this waves release.

Everyone is, including FFG.

Not necessarily, last time they had started shipping them before they even changed the status, if my memory serves me correctly. If you go back to the forums around that time and on Reddit the exact same back and forth discussions were happening and FFG came through like always. I am not worried.
I swear by newt
:lol:
SHUCKS... I still have all of these goodies to mess about with... so I can wait a little bit bit on dat Wave II joint-nic!
