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

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada

I predict that a new announcement is imminent.

Last year we had 4: Wave 3,4,CC & 5

they were in March, May, July, and August

Wave 6 will be shipping soon, and we are still 11 weeks out from GenCon.

I think we will get something new before the end of the month. Could be a new wave. Could be a new campaign. Could be something Epic.

Whatever it is I bet it will be announced soon.

Well, all I can see is that we didn't update any details today.

So 15th June Delivery is now another step far less likely...

But I see it is still early-ish in the day... (I've been up since 3am without Coffee, so I didn't realise it was only 1138hrs Central when I typed this)

Yeah someone must have some time off....no update on the upcoming page since last Wednesday, including the stuff that hit the stores last Thursday.

Minutes after I post there's an update...haha.

Looks like it might be the 22nd for release date as we haven't gotten an update or a switch from On the Boat

Coming down to the wire for whether or not I will have it for my July 9th Store Champs...

Eh I think that'll be fine. I'm kind of hoping they'll drop for the FFG Store Champs on the 24th of June...

Dont think they'll be legal by then? Doesnt it take a week? Or is it all legal at the store champ level once its in the wild?

Which is a 22nd drop date, which I'm looking for, since Calgary is the 25th.

But we've broken their target for shipping time as it is, so how much of a further delay it is, is anyone's game...

Anyone find it weird that Reanimates (RWM12) and Carrion Lancers (RWM09) had the same article, but Reanimates will be in stores before the Carrion Lancers?

I'm sure @Madaghmire will be glad for the Runewars talk too.

Store champs are Relaxed level events.

Relaxed = Immediately



Even Regionals are Formal level events

Formal = Immediately

It is only Premier level events, which include Worlds, Nationals, and the Continental Championships, where its 11 days restricted.

Oh man. Thank god, right? There were, 20, even 30 minutes there where there wasn't a Runeing commentary on all the great new ways to Runewars.

I don't mind admitting I was on the verge of weeping openly.

Well, might as well keep misting up, because there's still no Runewars article today. Or any for that matter ;)

Oh phew... we got our Runewars article for the day. Everyone can stop panicking. Our patience has been Runewarded.

But what am i supposed to complain about now? That we don't have shipping dates for wave 6 yet? What happens when that updates, do we complain that it's not soon enough for all of our liking? And then when it shows, do we complain that we have no new preview articles now?

I'M RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO FEEL ANGRY ABOUT AND THIS ANGERS ME!

I tell you what, when we get to a situation where you are otherwise happy and satisfied with all of the news - I will personally do something to piss you off.

Flotillas won Euros. Go start yet another thread and share your feelings! Show us your rule change that will fix Armada.

Idk, I'm quite content with Armada right now.

... From your choice of words, it sounds like you've already got a pet peeve though.

If i needed people to piss me off on the forums, I can easily get that in a myriad number of ways, most of them my opinions, haha.

Flotillas can only be killed on even number turns, and they can only activate on odd number turns. Also, you can only bring a flotilla if you fill every slot in it, and if you choose tractor beams it can only tractor beam other flotillas for space reasons.

This would be special though, this would be me going out of my way to do it... Rather than just my usual inadvertently arrogate **** self ;)

Oh, then by all means go for it. I have several suggestions if you're looking to make me mad, but why help you get there faster haha

Nah I'm just surprised how many Euro threads there are.

I find the "You won't BELIEVE how effective this rule change will be for Armada. Rule 4 will SHOCK you!!1!!1!" to be amusing.

I'm just waiting for wave 6 to drop.

Edit: Also, it's a trend on the forums for people to give rule changes after a major tournament. And people are typically shocked and appalled by what list was able to win. It's a cycle.

Boarding Troopers HATE him for what he does (spoiler: it's Hondo Onaka)

So realistically the soonest date for these ships to be in stores is June 22nd right? The window for the 15th is pretty much closed if I read previous theories correctly. "The waiting is the hardest part."
