Armada? You guessed right. Not a thing so far.

At least we weren't alone in being snubbed. None of the other Star Wars games have gotten any love either.

Technically, This is only news because they made a separate announcement for it... (IE, its not News to some of us)

It was originally part of the X-Wing Store Championships information... Just looks like only I read it (as I had to remind a few X-Wing Players on their forum of it existing in the first place).

Its simply convenient that its 40th of Star Wars... Because it happens to be 5th of X-Wing... So its a joint celebration in lieu of no celebration at all... Armada and IA are like, 3rd and 4th Year anniversaries, and that's why nothin'.

Never heard of it. It is advertised well?

Mostly word of mouth.

The Rebellion expansion went to the printer yesterday.

Not at all interesting for this crowd, I know, but - shrug, ya'll have nothing better to do than read this anyway.

I still really dream of a grand game which involves Rebellion, Armada, X-Wing, and Imperial Assault, with Corellian Conflict (somehow) as the glue that holds it all together. I'm tempted to start a thread about it, but I fear what will become of my life if I think too much about that, or - worse - start to actually work on creating some way to actually making it happen and getting people to play that with me.

Word of advice: let it drop

This from a guy who ran a massive fantasy game, covering everything from individual actions/adventures, skirmishes, major battles, entire campaigns AND kingdom-level management and strategy.

It's a LOT of fun. But also a lot of work. And by a lot I mean a lot.

Sigh. . . I dream of playing games like that. Then I remember that there aren't enough hours in a day nor days in a life-span to do so. . . and so I turn to computer games. . .

It ran, with a few interruptions, from 2000-2010. It was GRAND - but I could never do something like that again.

For Star Wars I get my fix from Armada (sometimes a little X-wing and Card Game), plus, more recently, Force and Destiny RPG. But no attempt to link them. No X-wing to simulate dogfights, for example.

Man that sounds awesome. I'd love to do something similar to a real-life two-faction Empire at War, ya know? Armada for the main fleet battles, X-Wing for the Squadron phase, IA for the ground assault, a galactic map for the game map (using a modified and expanded CC for the planet values). . . and of course custom rules to make it more detailed. Ah well, at least one can play the games individually. . .

I had an idea about doing that and incorporating a SSD. I had a thread a while back about it but it's CC where the Rebels are trying to stop the construction of the SSD and the Imps need to buy time to protect supply lines, weapons plants, and labs.

I had thought about the base defense missions too. Both sides can have infiltration missions to attack a land base or space station to either destroy it and steal resources/tech or gain control of it. That would be the IA part of it.

X-Wing would be supply line raids since you wouldn't have an entire fleet guarding a single transport going to a base.

And Armada would be the moving of the fleets on hyper space lanes. So it would be a risk based style of movement which means fleet deployment is extremely important.

Unique characters would need to be tracked among all the modes so you know where they are. And if they die in any version, they are gone for good.

And the entire campaign ends with the Rebels finding the SSD and engaging it. Destroying it would claim victory for the Rebels. Or the SSD completing and destroying the Rebel fleets claiming victory for the Empire.

I had the concept drafted up and wrote out complete stats for a SSD based on an ISD but 4 times as large. Even got some styrofoam to make one from scratch. A whole 48 inches worth of SSD.

But I got burned out trying to plan everything.

I foresee a runewars article tomorrow. Anything else would be a bonus to X-Wing or Armada. That is all.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Runewars shouldn't be tomorrow.

It should be any minute now.

They have updated from "Shipping Now" to "In Stores Now" in the past hour.
