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

Rebels got 2 ships in core set. This evens it ?

Indeed, but I would hope FFG has a better plan in place than to not release any new content for rebel players in a year/year and a half.

Hopefully we also get a regular wave release. You get back to ship parity AND you give new content for everyone.

I’m still expecting more SSD related articles before anything else - there was a lot of unspoiled cards in that spread...

Hope leads to suffering. Suffering leads to rage-quitting/Vic antennae smashing.

In fairness, everything leads to Vic antennae smashing. Learn to let go, you must.

Hey everybody.

i know I haven’t been around as much as I used to be. A big reason for that was the birth of my Firstborn which happened this morning around 8:30. My wife and I are thrilled but exhausted.

Im hoping I can put her through fleet training and perhaps one day the Daughter of GAC will be a fearsome Commander.

i just wanted to say thanks for the great community and I hope we have many many years of growth and camaraderie

Congrats GAC!

Hopefully you can still find some time to play Armada when everything settles.

Congrats! I'm 7 weeks into my daughter's existance, and while I haven't played Armada, the wife has allowed me to hit up two X Wing SC's and I am managing to get some painting done on my Legion minis.

It's gotten better as we've figured out things with feeding and sleeping. So don't lose hope if things get nuts the first several weeks. And grab some ibruprofen... If the kid screams anything like mine does, you'll have a perpetual headache. ?

She’s vocal all right; Came out crying. I have no doubt we will be needing the extra strength Tylenol

Congratulations @GrandAdmiralCrunch! Very happy for you and your wife.

A little advice from a father of 5. A sleeping baby fits perfectly in your arms while you hold a video game controller. All of mine also found the vibrating controllers soothing.

Enjoy the naps with a sleeping baby on your chest. It only lasts a little while, but it is one of the things I am most looking forward to when I eventually get grandkids.

Pass on what you have learned. My kids are some of my favorite gaming buddies! ;)

This is so true lol. Definitely something I miss a lot.

Tomorrow is August 25th, one year since the announcement of Wave 7.

I think we should decorate the forum with Star Destroyer balloons to celebrate the anniversary.

Fingers crossed for a surprise announcement of Wave 8 on Monday.

Hooray, more X-wing.

Well how are you people liking the new 200 point economy? Is there anything you miss from 1.0?

No idea what your talking about....

OK I don't live in a cave but I also don't play X-Wing.

I'm only happy because it gives me local competition for A game. I'm not even thinking about it until I have it in hand.

Sorry I'm no help there.

Three people have asked now, so here's the timing windows of possibility for articles and such to be out:



Friday, September 2nd

- 6 Week Window opens for Corellian Conflict information

- Unknown how many articles or duration would be given to this.

Monday, September 12

- 30 Day Window for Wave 3 & 4 FAQ Opens

- Window opens on Weekend, thus is placed on Monday for Conveniece.

- Single Article

Friday, September 16

- 6 Week Window opens for Wave 5 Preview

- 4 Articles, Traditionally Weekly.

Caveats are the fact that I've posted Minimal times. ALmost all articles have been 6 weeks after announce, but occasionally they are as much as 8 weeks...

So there's the grains, and the predictions, mathematically and historically speaking, presented without further details...

So I have to be the one to point out the 2nd anniversary of this thread? That is a lot of responsibility to put on a flake like me. No wonder it's a day late. Hope you're happy.

I predict a lot of fun today!

Would have been self aggrandizement if I did ?

Prove I'm not a puppet. ?

So when can we expect an SSD article I wonder?

I'd think you'd want to do that.

I mean... Really. Who'd want to be my Puppet?

Also: I totally tolerate aggrandizement by proxy.

:Yawn: I've been so busy with work the past 2 months I've barely been able to check the site/forum. Looks like I've missed next to nothing (yep, SSD)
