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

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada

Here is the rain on your parade:

(Emphasis added below)

Announcement article:

"The Corellian Conflict is scheduled to arrive to retailers in the fourth quarter of 2016!"

Corellian Campaign OP event:

"Pre-order Star Wars: Armada League Kits and host campaign events for your players after The Corellian Conflict releases later this year!"

Today's article:

"Control the battlefield. Control the battle. Explore all that the new objectives from The Corellian Conflict have to offer. This Armada campaign expansion is coming soon. Head to your local retailer to pre-order your copy today!"

While i'm still cautiously optimistic, remember to prepare for possible disappointment everyone.

that's like a quote from Dawn of War 1 "hope paves to road to disappointment"

"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."

;)

At least, in the Original English Version... It may CERTAINLY have been Translated Differently in other Versions and such :D

thank you! I knew I didn't have the exact quote and yes, I did play the original English version. It's just that it's been what... 10 years? Man, that game was good.

I predict at least one article again next week. Destiny's released this weekend right? Maybe that means they can get back to the other Star Wars stuffz.

Nah it'll be another 3 weeks of silence

I predict there will be no article today.

Come on universe... prove me wrong.

The Jinx is strong in this one.

This one did not get the memo on how to use the Jinx.

Also side note, I LOVE the picture in the article of the Pelta destroying that Raider. Hoping for an alt art of that...

Spent Today at Red Claw Gaming in Edmonton.

1) It was a Crazy ass drive down there.

2) It was a nice, fun, quick, 8 player Setup...

3) The first Two rounds saw no player score above 7.

3) Edmonton Players Suck*. ( :D ) I say this, only because they Let me... ME... Mr. RED DIE HELL... LORD STATISTICALLY ABYSMAL... Fight on the top Table in the last Round after being Undefeated...

I mean, Seriously...

When I got to the Top Table... I played against a True Veteran in Shaun, of which I had a pseudo mirror list of, and he simply outplayed me... Outmanevered, constantly locked down, and adapted quicker when ships ran squadrons over... On Kills, it was a close game, but he ran away with the Fire lanes in the end, and he righteously deserved the victory in the end...

My loss, and the total and utter capitulation of those below me catapulted me from 2nd to 5th in the End.

Oh well.

I WON TWO GAMES

SUCK IT FATE.

*They really don't. It should speak something about the level of competition that no-one scored above 7 in the first two rounds... Games were generally brutal...

Oh, and I failed to mention:

I got to Top Table of the last game... With 2 MC80s (a Lib and a command) and GARM BEL IBLIS.

Stop being such a hipster. Main stream netlists are the only way to play :P

But congrats on getting weird stuff to work. That's what makes Armada so fun.

Sounds like an exciting series of matches.

I say there will be another article on Friday.

I say there will be another article on Friday.

But what to talk about in the meanwhile?

How about that serious weather swing in the Northeast US? I left work on Saturday ay 5pm, saw a smaller brush fire on the ride home, and it was over 50F. By 630, it started to hail, and the temps went down to the low 30's. Wacky!

I doubt it, It's unlikely that FFG's article people are working Friday. if we see one I bet it will be by Wednesday. I'm thinking it's more likely we see something next week.

I say there will be another article on Friday.

I think I'd be more hopeful of an article coming Wednesday - I can't see them doing much posting during the Thanksgiving break.

Oh yea I forgot about the holiday. Hmmmmmm next week we will get an article then.

North pole is 30 some degrees warmer than it should be and the ice caps are severely depleted. I expect this winter to be very harsh and wild like.

Climate change is coming.

Its here.

The Arctic and Antarctic ice shelf are growing, not shrinking, If you are going to insert politics into this forum, at least get your facts straight.

And that you should also present all of the facts.

There are two kinds of Ice involved. There is the Sea Ice, and there is the Shelf ice... Now, the lack of one, and the releative growth presence of the other, is indicative of long term Climate Change.

Climate Change is Happening. That is not something that can be disputed anymore. There are enough records now to support a basic standard fact that on the short-to-mid term, the Change is happening.

The political question is weather this is because of Humanity or Not.

...

But totally irrelevant to article predictions. Unless, y'know, you want to connect Climate Change to Cloud Reading to some other obscure form of Oineromancy that I havn't heard about (good luck there).......

Technically what I read is that, while the iced area is growing, its thickness is shrinking, with the net effect of the reduction of the ice volume on the poles.

Or maybe you're denying the whole climate change thing? I don't get it.

First article of the day is for you stinky European types.

Lets not bring politics into this particular thread.

Do you want our flagship thread to get locked?

Because this is how you get threads locked.

I completely agree. This is the Awesome Thread of Article Predictions!


We have Last Friday....

Now, of course, we have US Thanksgiving coming up sometime this week. I will be honest, I am oblivious to it, for two facts:

1) Its in the US. I don't understand many things the US does.

2) Its Thanksgiving. I don't understand Thanksgiving... A Holiday in October/November? Why Bother... Christmas is just over there if you're the Holiday type, and the Melbourne Cup is in November for a day to get Drunk on...

...

So anyway. Are we expecting a Wave 5 Article? Because the Caveat is, even if we get a Wave 5 Article, 1 per week, starting today, we won' get all 4 Articles done in such a time that we'll have Stock before Christmas anyway.....

Here's an interesting tidbit of information from today's article:

"The North American and European Champions for each competitive Organized Play game will receive travel and accommodations for the following World Championship for their game, along with a first-round bye."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the GENCON winner has not gotten travel and accommodations before. Might be worth making the drive out to Indy just to see if I can win the trip to Worlds.

... I won 2 Games on the Weekend.

That's like, a Billion-Infinity percent Increase over the past 6 months of Play to me.

I can take GenCon.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful way to breakup the last few months of the year with paid vacation days at work. For some of us at least... Maybe it's a conspiracy from the Turkey breeders group to sell more Turkey! :ph34r:

I dig a nice meal with family, and it's like one of the 1-2 times a year you get to see a lot of them.

Did I mention time off, so I can play some FFG goodness? Probably. Sometimes. Maybe not this year. :lol:

We could get both squadron packs in a SINGLE article though...

And to be fair... the only Wave 5 squadrons that even matter at this point are Hera and the Decimators. Everything else is gonna sit on my shelf and look pretty.
