Well X-Wing is in stores now. Wasn't Armada in the lead for some time?

Asmodee is a French Company, after all...

They appear to be the first of the cross-translations done... I mean, the German ones aren't even through Wave 4 yet... and I'm not sure where the Spanish ones are up to...

Its only the U-Wing and TIE Striker, the Rogue-One Tie-ins...

The rest of X-Wing Wave 10 is Mid-January Release now

Zero chance their release day is Thursdays and it isn't being released today

According to the French Distributor, it is.

First hand evidence and all of our projecting says no.

I already new what was on the truck for this week to the stores.

Oh I didn't realize that. I thought the entire wave was before the movie came out.

That's what I get for thinking.

I'm home, I'm off from work, and I'm ready for the official spoilings!!!

I'm so excited to find out what the Wave 5 squadrons do!

Probably.

I found out the other day, according to some metrics, it is:

1,759,888th most common surname in the world

Approximately 48 people bear this surname

Dammit, Google gave me nothing that matched your surname of 13 letters, no vowels, and at least one "y".

Because its only 9 letters, man..... You're making it too hard on yourself

Dunno if this is still a thing, but I know it now. I won't say it without Dras giving me explicit permission.

So we have all the wave 5 articles and a confirmed release date next Thursday.

When do we start asking for wave 6?

We were supposed to start complaining about it back when it was On the Boat, but since the articles were late, I think we can safely start now.

When do we start asking for wave 6?

We don't.

We sit back and enjoy both Wave 5 and Corellian Conflict.

When the FFG Gods deign to deliver upon us the promise of a new Wave, we shall be greatful. But until such time, we must learn to appreciate what we have, and what we will be delivered upon the Holidays of December...

Or some rabid anti-fanboy crap like that. I don't know.

Now we riot!

Did that article really confirm CC though? Did I read through it too quickly? Edit: found the other article.

We save that for X-Wing, we take time to enjoy what we are about to receive. This is an elegant game for a more civilized play time, not as clumsy or random as other games.

*FYI I am a primary X-Wing player that just got into Armada. I will be on the other forum whining for Wave XI info.

I hope wave 6 doesn't come for another 6 months, or even longer. Too much stuff to play through now.

I would like at least 2 months before we even get a wave 6 announcement, but that might be too much to hope for.

they can give me an announcement whenever. Their release schedule is generally slow, by the time it gets here I'll be ready.

Now I'm looking forward to the 2017 kit announcements. I'm yearning for those acrylic engineering tokens.....And some more alt art (I'd love a Liberty Alt art).

OOOOH! Lets start predicting what the alt arts will be for the first kit, starting with the small one: you think they'd make it the TRC?

We postulated that one before, and looked up cards that are currently "Only available in one Kit" but are seemingly universally wanted by more than one other:

Flight Controllers (Victory Only)

Ion Cannon batteries (Victory Only)

Turbolaser reroute circuits (MC30 Only)

Advanced Proton Torpedoes (MC30 Only)
Expanded Launchers (Gladiator Only)

Flight Commander (Interdictor Only)

But you could also expand to include:

Heavy Turbolaser Turrets (ISD Only)

Huh! Must've missed it. But I'd be okay with literally any of those to be honest. I REALLY want another Flight Controllers, or Commander, but in terms of alt art, I feel like the Expanded Launchers or TRCs could be pretty cool (granted they actually did different art for it, unlike X17 and LS, which were just larger/flipped versions of the original).

And like I said, I'd love an Alt Art Liberty as one of the upper levels. It'd level things out for iconic ships I feel like. ISD has alt arts for both, as does VSD (granted one is the plastic one). A Liberty or MC30 would be my top choices.

Liberty and gozanti AA next

Still to go in Wave 1/2

AFMK-IIB
Corvette B (?)
MC80 Command
MC30 Scout
MC30 Torpedo
Gladiator I
Nebulon B Support

Then you've got the Alt Art Squadrons.

And then you get to Wave 3-4-5
Interdictors

Liberties

Peltas

Gozantis
GR75s
Arquitens

This thread almost left the front page.

But don't worry, I saved this bastion of good vibes and hope.

For the predictions! For the Articles!

Thursday is the day...

I have a 5 hour Window.

Up at 8am.

10 minute 3-block walk to the Bus Stop.

On the #14 bus at 0900hrs

Transfer from #14 Bus to #201 Train at Somerset/Bridlewood at 0930hrs.

Transfer from #201 Train to #101 Train at City Hall Station at about 1045hrs.

Get off #101 Train at the Elevated Sunalta station at 1050hrs.

Walk to Sentry Box (3 Blocks), be there for 1100hrs Open.

Buy Corellian Campaign. Buy Pelta. Agonise if I can buy anything else (really want 2 Rebel Fighter Packs)....

Then take the 2 hour Reverse trip home. Which often takes longer, as there's a good 15 minute delay to transfer from the 102 to the 202 heading South at City Hall, and then up to a 40 minute wait for the #14 bus at Somerset/Bridlewood to get home...

But, the forecast promises to be tolerable weather (+4C, compared to the -30 with WInd Chill we've had all the last few weeks)...

And I can be home around Lunchtime to then serve Pancakes for the Wife and Kiddo, before she has to take off at 3...

...

I can do this.
