GenCon - The Cost of Victory

By IceQube MkII, in Star Wars: Armada

Assume you have a Core.

Could Weir and Lee's fleets be one of the most cost effective builds?

1x ISD

1x Glad

1x MC30 (to get Ordnance Experts and APTs)

2x Rogue & Villain

1x Imperial Fighters

I guess Weir needed 1x Raider for Ozzel (but I think you can get him cheap since Raiders are easily found in the wild).

Well done gentlemen!

I guess when the new players ask the inevitable "what should I buy?" Question you could give them this list instead of the ol' "at least one of everything" standard.

So 300us including starter... you could even sell trc and yt2400 to get maybe 30 back... this at msrp as well... on Amazon could probably get the lot for 200us... I would think this is comparable to x wing, or what some might consider relatively cheap

When new players ask what to buy, the answer should never have been "everything"........

Locally some 200 pt tournaments have popped up. Besides being able to play through a game even faster which leads to weeknight tournaments, it takes a heck of a lot of pressure off those new to Armada to not have to field a full 400 pts..

Depends on if they want stuff to just play, or for tourneys. There's two different schools of thought on this.

people laughed at me when I said Ozzel was my favourite admiral lol

Darth Vader is certainly not on your side on this one (but it's funny) ;P

Thank you, I wish the final was recorded as it was a very interesting match.

Armada has a relatively low entry cost and the game is completely playable at a competitive level with only a single faction. I have not and will not purchase a single rebel expansion, nor do I own any rebel ships. OE comes in the raider pack I believe? I traded an expanded launchers with a friend for a single copy of APTs. If you see me flying a list with both APTs and ACMs, it's not because of a strategic choice - it's because I physically do not own more APTs! I similarly traded the rebels from my core and S&V for more imperial ships. I think I have 5 VSDs from trading. Don't ask.

Jerjerrod is about to make you look like a genius, as if winning nationals didn't give you enough street cred. Or space cred? What do we call it?

The Emperor would be proud.

His wallet is quite safe from their pitiful little band.
