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

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada

My Emperor! I've failed you!

Prepare my shuttle, I will apologize to him personally.

Be careful now. That sounds dangerously close to praise for the Rebels Minister of Propaganda. Remember his words are only true from a certain point of view.

Me?

Minister of Propaganda?

Ha!

I just enjoy trolling Moff @Mikael Hasselstein Far too much in my spare time.

Well, trolling, taunting, y’know, much the same.

Fellow loyal Imperials,

You must realize something about @Drasnighta. While he claims to be a elusive Rebel operative, always two steps ahead of the ISB, this is simply what Rebel propaganda want you to believe.

That identity is merely one that falls to another hapless Rebel operative every time the ISB apprehends another "Drasnighta" operative. There are now scores of Drasnightas being mercifully re-educated by the ISB. Frankly, we are starting to think that street people are claiming to be Drasnighta in order to be taken into the warm embrace of the Imperial fold.

I’m Spartacus!

So, so willing to accept sleeper agents... it’s beautiful to watch.

They only look like they’re “sleeping.” This is the ISB we’re talking about.

Mass murder? Who’s talking about mass murder? A Rebel? Well, I’m not surprised.

I play both sides and from the rebel perspective, even though it may be a while before they get an expansion, their excitement level should still be high. Getting to play against and figure out how to defeat the ssd should be fun and breathe new life into rebel strategy. I look forward to flying the ssd as well as trying the o blow it up.

I'm in the same boat. Excited to play it and play against it!

So, the real question is: When will we get the next Armada article? November?

You do know what happens to Bothans when they bring information right?

I think we're bound to get more articles. I mean, only 1 of the 4 variants were dropped... Furthermore, only 1 card was spoiled at the same time... That of Palpatine. That has the potential to set a precedence:

Between that and what amounts to a bunch of extra included unique cards, we could potentially be open to having an article a Month, dictating 1 Ship type and an upgrade card, and almost make it all the way to 2019 on the strenght of that alone.

... That also assumes nothing else, and just lke what happened with Thrawn and Raddus, I'm sure they canvassed some playtesters to write some words on it, too... At least, I'd put good money on something like that...

So yes, articles to come, I'm confident. Totally confident.

Also Drunk on my last dime.

But let's not go there :D

You will be able to preorder the ssd at miniature market for $160 at some point. That’s not a bad price.

While true, and I ain't buying it (Rebel only), I'd definitely check with your FLGS to see if they'd be willing to do a discount on the regular price. Yes, I can understand going and getting it from there if your FLGS is offering it for $200 flat, but if they'd be willing to go down to $160-$175, I'd urge you to pay where you play. Yes, money is problematic for a lot of people, I understand that argument. But if we're getting 1 wave a year like we are now, throw some love at the place where you're showing up weekly and you aren't BUYING Armada all that often. It proves to THEM that you want them to keep supporting you showing up and letting you play Armada there. I know several games that died at our store because everyone was buying Warmahorses and Infinity stuff online, where it was cheaper and faster and.... not supporting the store.

Not trying to poop on anyone's parade and be THAT GUY, but.... it appears I became him. Again, talk to the guy in charge and see if there's a pre-ordering discount. Which.... lemme go do that myself for our guys....

I totally agree, but maybe this one is the exception to me. I already talked with my store. Problem here, ffg spain make it 1$=1€ what I may bear if we talk about 20$, 30$ and even 40$ but 200$... We are talking about 30$ more expensive.?

That's the standard 20% off you get at most local stores.

I’ll probably be buying it from a local model train shop because they’ll give a nice discount on preorders. I don’t have an flgs in my little town to support or I would. We just have a model train/plane/drone/remote control car place that gets miniatures as well if you preorder With them.

So what are the current predictions on articles? Any hope for a rebel article this Friday?
