PAWCast Episode 1: The Wave That Was, The Wave That Is (a new podcast!)

By Trizzo2, in Star Wars: Armada

Hey everyone :) Finally.....finally...finally...we are live. I would like to introduce the pilot podcast for PAW, The PAWCast.

PAW or Parramatta Attack Wing is a group of Armada of 8 (or so) Star Wars Armada players based in Parramatta (Australia). We play at the The Games Cube. Some of has have played since day one, some joined later in the Waves.

Ken (Irokenics) made PAW and helped to start build the Sydney/East Coast community.

Between PAW we have a handful of regional titles and a half a dozen store champs. We are always keen for tournment play. We play to win but fly casual. We hope to see you in Aus or overseas!

(only host the first episode)

  • We reminisce on Wave 2, where we started, what we learned and where we ended.
  • Discussions on Wave 3 -Gozanti, Rebel Transport- and Wave 4 -Interdictor and Liberty- our initial impressions, play testing and what we think for the future. Not a full card spoiler...but most things are touched upon or mentioned!
  • Intermingled throughout various playtests, ideas and discussion
  • A long episode which was not able to cover all topics stated in the introduction…this will be for Epiosde 2!

So I copy pasted a bit of that from wordpress because i've been going for more than a couple of hours now and I'm sleepy... :)

There were and are a few technical issues...I had to almost completely chop a person (Dan) out of the final 1/3. This will show in one edit or two and why I was delayed in editing it. A few issues just related to mics...the obvious feedback from Ken only happens twice so bear with.

I also want to develop my style a bit more...sorry if we repeat some beats or que ins, I was trying to get us to avoid speaking over the top of each other but we hesitated to speak sometimes. We will not repeat this mistake again!

I hope you enjoy this and get ready for the next episode, hopefully within another month.

Enjoy!

Got about halfway through it on my way to work this morning. Sounds like you're off to a good start!

I'm dubious about an "immortal" MC80, though... :)

Ha well it could take more abuse than most but I agree, nothing lives forever! Twas ECM/Eng Team sporting AP or Redundant Shield. For most lists it was commit to killing it or killing/dealing with the 4 other TRC90s if I remember correctly. It was a hard nut. And on the groups love for the MC80 Nicks 3 Regionals was taken down with MC80 Assault Cruiser, alongside 2 TRC90, Salvation/TRC/Vet Cap, Dash/Han ... we did like this underdog

If you'd come over to San Antonio, we could've taken care of killing that for you... ;)

Nah, but seriously, I'm surprised the MC80/4xCR90 lists didn't have a bigger showing in W2. I played against it a few times and it was terrifying!

I dont remember if i actually mentioned the list in the Pawcast but yeah thats exactly the list i ran, the immortal mc80 with 4 mortal cr90s haha

Can confirm, whale and minnows were dangerous. Will give the cast a listen after work.

Nice job, dudes!

Great to see another show!

. . . Any chance for a download link?

. . . Any chance for a download link?

Agreed!... I don't really care to listen through a browser, or downloading an app

Odds are I'm just stupid but is there a download link???

Sweet, I'll have to give this a listen once I get home - and I'll clearly need to pen in a trip over to Parra soon to get some games in, since I'm only a couple hours away in Bathurst

Ahhh yes. Another perspective to bounce mine against.

...cool to have another place to crash when I next frequent Aussieland. You DO have a spare couch, ya?...bath oils?...candles? /eyebrow

I tested the MC80 H1/Defiance with TRC90s heavily in W2. Didn't like it as much as the MKII variant.

Odds are I'm just stupid but is there a download link???

Yes there is! Apologies ...completely neglected this rather important feature. Currently uploading to Podbean and ITunes is being verifited.

I will be migrating hosting to Podbean. Soundcloud has left me wanting. I will edit this space when it's ready, which should be soon!

-edit- It's up!

Bang: http://pawarmada.podbean.com/

Forgive the leftover art work...i'm editing it now :)

Much Appreciated! Downloads are just so much easier to handle

Listening through the cast for the second time... Good job! Nice to have more armada casts to listen to...

Whoah, don't search for "pawcast" podcast. There are several doggie and cat (paw) podcast already with that name. :huh:

Well, I thought the part about pouncing on targets was ok, but I'm not sure how fetching the range ruler is such a big deal.

Also, the use of "leash" to talk about the maneuver tool was somewhat confusing.

So Ken's kind of a big deal
