Does anyone know if Admiral Piett is in the game yet? The only Imperial expansion I don't own is the Victory I'm not sure if he's in there or not, and as they surely won't release a Super Star Destroyer, when would you think he may arrive?
Will he arrive at all?
He's not yet.
The Wiki has the list of all the cards.
Edit: I would guess that he will arrive, though. I'd guess they are saving him for something cool in a future Wave. FFG probably didn't want him overshadowed by releasing at the same time as Vader.
Edited by DerErlkoenigif his ability doesn't have something to do with Intensifying Forward Firepower I will be mad
possibly balanced out by taking damage when overlapping squadrons
I was actually surprised he wasn't in -this- wave, but I kinda hope he has a cool ability. Intensifying Forward Firepower would be great...
Admiral Piett: 25 Points
When attacking from the front arc of a ship add 1 Blue die to the pool.
"intensifying", so something like can add a die of any color in your "attack pool". Or maybe change a blank to a critical.
Or perhaps, "Concentrate fire symbol: While attacking at close to medium range,add your anti squadron dice to your attack pool. You cannot perform an anti squadron attack this turn."
"intensifying", so something like can add a die of any color in your "attack pool". Or maybe change a blank to a critical.
So screed?

Change a blank to a crit is different than Screed's ability where you have to spend a die, but in this case it would require a blank. In any case, not Screed.
I would like to see an Admiral Ozzel, Admiral Piett double sided card.
Text would be:
Admiral Ozzel:
Yadda Yadda
at the end or round 3 flip this card over
Admiral Piett
Yadda Yadda

And this is why I love you in a totally platonic, not rummaging through your laundry bin and wearing your undies on my head, kind of way Fickle.

I like that idea.

Wouldn't you need Darth Vader for turn 2 then?

If ackbar is 38 points for 2 red if you only attack from the side arc. I think piett would cost more then 25. Like 30 if you only shoot from the front
Piett's ship should be easy to take out....just fly an awing into the bridge.....
Banzai!!!!!
Piett not in this wave? Super Star Destroyer expansion = confirmed!
Piett should be an Officer card. He may replace your current admiral...
I think his absence is one of the strongest arguments to suggest that we will be getting a SSD.

Me too. Thematic and would be cool, but might be too strong.

Or not. Admiral Ozzel appeared in the Raider and it's not a very iconic ship.

I would disagree about the Raider being iconic as it looks like it came Straight outa Kuats Yard. It's just still so new having been created what 18 months ago? That it's still sinking in.

It's not an iconic Star Wars ship, even if it looks like it could be someday.

That's the thing though, it will be iconic. It's purely associated with starwars and it will be widely accepted in the new generation of fans. Now I could understand if it's not an iconic Episode IV-VI classic trilogy ship but for me even as new as it is, its an icon of Starwars.
I do think we will see Piett but it may not be with the inevitable SSD in Armada Epic format that there's really no reason not to make. Armada is already not a true scale game and taking the well known Executor Class and it's sister ships is almost a license to print money.
But it isn't iconic. It isn't an icon. Maybe someday, several to many years from now casual fans, and non-fans will be able to identify what it is - but it isn't there yet, and there is no guarantee that it necessarily ever will be.

But seriously odd segway into an Ssd argument

Guilty as charged.
I would really like to see it but really almost all the SSD classes are welcome in my book.
