Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

I have a feeling that we'll get something today...

The odds are not great, being an FFG Sunday.

But, with PAX and BGG.con on, at least odds exist.

Don't worry, they're working the weekend.

Oh, another L5R article. :mellow:

Seems like I don’t have enough of the force, maybe it was just an indigestion :/

Remember that at FFG HQ there are still many hours left in the day. One time we even got an article at midnight GMT. Don't give up hope so soon.

Wow... staff must have slept in today.

I have been thinking over the circumstances surrounding the timing of the rushed X-Wing wave and the current timeline with The Last Jedi coming out soon and Rebels halfway through the final season.

Perhaps FFG (or Disney) don't want to release anything about Wave 7 because they either have a critical spoiler on one of the cards or they are about to release a big wave announcement based on ships from Episode 8 (or an upcoming episode of Rebels) and they don't want the hype to be sidelined by say, an MC75 article? Maybe they are waiting for a visual guide or other info to be dropped regarding new capital ships from the movie?

Maybe I am just grasping at straws at this point.

nah, that's too much conspiracy theory for my taste.

It’s not impossible we have another Wave 3/4 scenario going on.

I don’t know how likely it is, but it’s not impossible.

Opp... there they are. Had to give the LotFR their fix. I’m sure they were going through withdrawals without their Dailey article.

That is cool. I’m glad they got some love. That app looks like a lot of fun; I think I’m going to get a lot of use out of it.

I don't play, but it does look very neat.

Time to use Legion minis and play IA with my friends that own IA....

I don’t play as much as I like. Now the App brings Coop play, and Coop is only a short hop to Solo play. This makes me happy.

So does this mean that armada is officially at the bottom of ffg’s Star Wars games? I thought armada was at least above IA in hierarchy.

Historically, no. IA and Armada were both announced at the same GENCON, but IA was out by Christmas while Armada didn’t hit shelves till March. IA surged ahead with expansions. They are on Wave 10, while we’re waiting for 7.

Dras has been suggesting something similar(he doesn't know any better than we do from my understanding, he's just got more hope than the lot of us debbie downers).

I think they just don't have a lot to say about the wave and are saving it for closer to release time. I dislike it and am frustrated over the situation but imo apathy is the best approach.

Very happy for our IA brothers and sisters.

They've been waiting for this app for quite a long time - almost as long as we've been waiting for our fabled SWM20.

SWM 20 is clearly our APP, RIP SSD

I’m also more convinced we cannot and will not get nice things until we show as a group we appreciate what we have.

Well, it is almost Thanksgiving.

I’m thankful for all the great games FFG puts out,but most especially Armada and the excellent models and gameplay. I’m also thankful for Thrawn and Raddus coming in the next wave.

I was informed Thanksgiving was a month ago.

Not that it matters.

I don’t even know what that holiday is,
