It is a miracle no Runewars article on Friday.

I'm calling it: Runewars is dead.

That was fast.

And after 2 months stiff officially on the flotilla.

Perhaps FFG has spammed flotillas in their fleet and are just taking delaying activations......

I'll take the blame. I pre-ordered these instead of the C-ROC.

Runewars cannot die. Instead, Death itself shall become but a fragment of the great tapestry that is Runewars, where it shall know everlasting chagrin as she is bested again and again by hordes of reanimate d*ckwolves.

I've got all mine pre-ordered but currently no money so I called FFG and asked them to delay the shipment. it won't be out till end of June.

Well we don't know when the siege units are coming. Or the Wave 6 stuff still......

So they could ship next week for a release on the 29th...

Yep.

If they change Today, possibly tomorrow (and be record-equalling), and be here on the 22nd.

But anytime later in the week, its the 29th. At least.

Q2 was their intended Target of Release, so they have until the 29th........ But again, less and less likely each day.

The assumption being they will alert us the moment something changes which I find very unlikely.

I think the "Updates" page for everything but "Scheduled Release" date is probably automated from a back-end Database. Which would explain the updates we've seen where nothing actually updates other than the "last updated" date.

So when projects hit milestones, there's changes.

IF that's the case, then the Ship hasn't arrived or Cleared Customs, because we seem to get an update when stock (timing wise), would hit the FFG Warehouse, and then the "Shipping Now" update happens as they are leaving the Warehouse for Distributors.

But hey, its all a Black Box. We're looking at Output, we don't get to see the Input or the Mechanics.

Also,

Runewars Article. They're not dead after all.

FFG really milks these quarter release dates. They never come at the beginning or middle of a quarter, and just barely make the very end of a quarter, if they do at all.

RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

On come the d*ckwolves. Find cover if you can. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Store Championship season, the season for testing new concepts.

FFG release the new toys after store champ season finishes.

Figures

I heard we're not ever going to get the quasar and hammerhead. They'll be released day 1 of Worlds next year, it's the only fair way.

It feels that way. This is the first wave I had the money to preorder and the wait is frustrating!

Maneuver tool is shipping now...maybe we will see more stuff change soon.

Ya know, I dream of a day when we get two part fun articles like X-Wing does. I think the only thing we've gotten similar is the fleet contest from last year.

Second dream is they announce some sort of FAQ update acknowledging the meta-state and possible changes (if there are any) and also show the Quad Battery Turrets as partial/soft counter to the squadron heavy/activation heavy meta.

Well, the first is always a possibility - it depends if they feel like tapping the community for information - and that's just in if.

The second would be completely unprecedented. There is the possibility we'll get a Launch article when they hit "in stores now" or "shipping now" which holds it, but there's basically been at least one unspoiled card in each release since Wave 2, I believe... At least, there always seemed to be one or two that were unspoiled until the end - its just a rarity that at this point, its the same card for each.

Eh yeah it'd be nice.

The second thought kind of stemmed from their in depth articles nerfing cards for both Destiny and X-Wing in the last few months, acknowledging issues with them and stating reasons for the nerfs. And if they thought that there was an issue with squadrons, that would be a nice subtle little spoiler in the article. Of course that would be extremely unlikely, as it would have to line up pretty well with the release of the Wave. I'm just sayin' if I were in charge that's what I'd do cause it'd be fun. It'd make sense to me, but I'm not in charge haha.

+1 for d*ckwolves

A whole bunch of stuff has updated to shipping now, but Armada still hasn't changed its status, so I'm thinking 3 weeks until the next wave is released, st the earliest !

That's hardly comparable to a mass-production project consisting of hundreds of thousands* of units.

*Or however many it is.

Probably 2-5k lots. Shipments of even 10k are pretty much huge by hobby game standards.

At this point I think something may be wrong with the wave 6 stuff.
