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

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada

Of course X-wing is the clear favorite. In my. Tiny country there are 30 X-wing players per 1 Armada player and I would reckon it's the same (or worse) ratio everywhere.

The last 6 weeks in Calgary, for the Sunday Gaming days labelled as "X-Wing Days", Armada has outnumbered X-Wing players close to 4:1.

Honey we're moving to Canada!

I will caveat it to say that, yesterday, the Ratio was 1:1

But that's because one of our Regulars had to be elsewhere running a WM tournament or he'd have lost his pressganger status :D ...

But still, 1:1 is pretty good based on what people assume on popularity, right?

One thing to note, it did take them four months from announcing heroes of the resistance to do a preview article.

I am more surprised that those monkeys haven't completely gotten angry about the article today.

It's looking like Major Rhymer is now a major player in XWing now.

Rhymer with TIE Shuttle title, Tactician, Vader crew, and Snap Shot.

As a casual x wing player I'm excited about this pack, as I never got around to buying the falcon, and was to lazy to paint poe's x wing

Mind you don't start a stampede!

Refreshing the FFG news page is a crutch!

So...nothing today.

Forecast for tomorrow: nothing much, except a light drizzle of tears and the wailing of gamers.

Someone ask for an FAQ?


Of course, its for ANDROID

The Android: Netrunner FAQ has been updated with clarifications and an update to the timing chart!

needs to be done at some point, I guess, anyway, why not right now when a bit of fun can be gained as well :)

Are people waiting for the article on Wave 5? Or the Conflict? Cause I may be an outlier here but I'm kind of hoping they don't post anything on the Corellian Conflict and just let us discover it when it drops.

It might all depend on what they want their timeline to be. Because at this rate I don't think Conflict will be here for Worlds, which means they don't need to get the info out about it ahead of time, at which point I could see them dropping it un-spoiled at Worlds.

But I'm just throwing my two cents in. Either way, I'm kind of hoping for no spoiler article on the Conflict.

I think we would accept an FAQ at this point.

I'm wondering if FFG does use hanjin and that is why they haven't hit the boat. I mean it's possible conflict is on the boat but not updated, unlikely but possible, and they are stick on a hanjin boat.

But I'm just throwing my two cents in. Either way, I'm kind of hoping for no spoiler article on the Conflict.

It would be unheard of.

Literally....lol.

But in honor of the soon to be defunct FFG 40k license, my response to Card Knight "HERESY!!!!"

I don't even care about preview articles. I want to know how I'm supposed to be playing with the **** cards I've already got!

I do not know how I could have missed it! This will happen next.

I predict a cut and paste FAQ and Tournament Rules document!

This time they'll cut and paste from 40k!

But I'm just throwing my two cents in. Either way, I'm kind of hoping for no spoiler article on the Conflict.

But it is unheard of. At least as far as X-Wing and Armada goes. There aren't any campaign type things, at least nothing official that I've come across. I suppose I haven't looked at any of the other FFG product lines for something similar to this, and how much they've previewed for those things.

All that being said, I would be surprised if they didn't preview the Corellian Conflict, at least the squadron and objective cards for the competitive scene, as Regionals are right around the corner after worlds, and you can't really drop something like that and NOT preview it.

I WILL say that I hope we don't get a repeat of Wave 3/4, where they drop at the same time, or even a little close to the same time, for both pocketbook and game reasons. There was so much to try all at once...don't get me wrong, I'll take any excuse to play Armada, but I wouldn't mind a bit of time to integrate one thing before I add another...

The Following arguments could be made, and they would all be correct:

FFG has Never Spoiled the contents of an X-Wing Campaign.

FFG has Never Spoiled the contents of an Armada Campaign.

FFG has Spoiled the contents of every expansion they have released in the past 24 months. (I didn't go back further).....

There is only one release I found, where they simply announced the release... (And actually, announced it as in stores right away, and that itself has been plagued by errors, as it still is not available in Canada - and taht was the Skirmish Maps for Imperial Assault)...

If it is a Core Box, or an Expansion... Of which the Campaign would qualify (as I use Expansion as 'Requires xx to Play')... Contents have been spoiled at both Announcement Article, and further along....

So it would be unheard of.

But unheard of is not impossible.

As I said above, I found one instance where they announced the release of an Item, with no forewarning whatsoever - but only one of those.

It's midnight at FFG now, and still no article.

Midnight on the doomsday clock. Its all over now.

I need to point out that the X-Wing TFA Core Set wasn't announced until the day of release, September 4th 2015. If products are designed to be released on Force Friday 2016 (September 30th) we may not see articles until then.

This is not the place for optimistic realism. This is a pit of darkest despair!

It's been 46 days since the last article (not counting wave 3/4 'Available This Week').
