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

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada

In case it hasn't been said in the past 8 hours: Armada is clearly dead.

I for one hope JJ points out his handiwork to us. I like to know.

I doubt he'll be able to unless they provide him the opportunity to write an article like they've done with X-Wing champs. NDA and all that.

Even after its spoiled/released? Seems silly. Cant be sure tho without seeing the NDA in question

Once its released, they can admit it...

Of course, its up to people to believe them, at that point :D

As Paul Heaver did with Bobafett (Crew) and Boshek before the article and all...

I know, but I guess my statement was more along the lines of: Its cool to "just say" it... But its best if you back it up with some sort of fact, truth or at least forumlae for supposition.

Otherwise, you just look like a guy who likes shouting "I WAS RIGHT!!!!!" - and we have enough of those.

I don't say that cause I'm usually wrong

So, who wants some news?


Trolling through other places and picking up info - it appears that Runewars has been updated on the Product legality page to show its release of some upcoming Items for teh 15th of June.

These items were "updated" on the 26th of May and were still marked as "On the Boat" at that time, but that could reflect that they were punted through Customs and on their way to the FFG Warehouse.

Once they leave the FFG Warehouse, they're "Shipping Now"... So expect that to be updated within a day or two...

...

But we're still marked as last updated 11th of April... And with no Legaltiy/Street Date update.

So it looks like its going to be - at least - post the 15th of June for Release now...

I think we might see the goods in stores sooner than that. Maybe just wishful thinking.

I want to believe, but the odds are lengthening...

They have to be "Shipping Now" by, say, Tuesday the 6th. If they're there on th eboat on Wednesday, then release won't be the 15th.... It'll be, at a minimum, the 22nd... Because we have to adhere to the 2 Week period, and the Thursday Release schedule...

Sentry Box Store Championships are the 25th... I've deliberately left off people having to Register with a list, just in case it does release on the 22nd - it would be legal and I wouldn't want to stop early adopters from taking it...

So I'm hoping,

but I'm not confident. We'd have to have that "background stealth update" tomorrow, to get Tuesday Update movement, if it follows the other System's pattern of release in tehpast few weeks... And I have no reason to believe Armada would be different at this point.

Finally back from Mexico. I predict an article in the 9-10 AM Central Time for the Hammerhead.

Also, there is a lot of doomsaying over in some other Forums and systems baout how Asmodee is now transitioning to a single Distributor.

Previously, they had some 30 odd distributors in the US, and last year transitioned that down to 5... Now, as of August, that will be going to One - Alliance.

I admit - I'm openly biased and not buying into a lot of the doomsaying, because as a Non-American, I simply see this as a "Fairing up" of the system, with the United States now treated the same way as they treat the rest of the World - with Single Exclusive Distributors...

(At the same time, they're changing out the Canadian Distributor as well, and in doing so, pre-orders that have not been fulfilled might be cancelled, including the Corellian Conflict Alt-Art Kits that I've been hankering for...)...

But its a word of mention to people, as a lot of people have piped up and stated that Alliance doesn't have the best of records... Honestly, I don't see how any of 'em do, but that's me :D

If Amazon's fba warehouses can keep things mostly straight this shouldn't be that hard.

I am drinking scotch.

In the morning I will get up for kids soccer.

And there will be a hammerhead article to read.

Yea, and I miss the initial "article is up post", start reading when it is at 5 pages, and it is up to 8 pages before I am up to date and contribute to the discussion.

They really need to drop them before my lunch time.

When you want people who have it better than you to suffer as much as you do, that isn't "fairing up the system"; it's envy.

I thought that was "socialism", no?

Nah, that's the Republican/Fox News take on socialism.

I just want people to live their life how they want instead of being crushed by poverty. Been there, done that.

Can I use some birthday magic to ask for the article from FFG? It's just an internet post, such a reasonable demand!
