Days Since We Last Had To Make Up Rules As We Went Along: 0

Did I miss seeing anything in the 18+ pages of this forum concerning a FAQ about CC?

Or was it someplace else?

Thanks!

No official word from FFG about whether or not they'll be giving a FAQ about CC.

I saw a thread on Reddit, someone stated their friend is a play tester and the faq is coming with wave VI and they are busy playtesting flotilla changes.

Well, if that's the case, their friend isn't likely a playtester anymore. Since they just violated an NDA.

Also heard that they are play testing a merger with X-Wing. Games take awhile, but every squad battle takes place on a separate 3x3 mat.

FFG is known to make substantial changes to overall game mechanics right?

I could totally envision them doing something to address flotillas/activations.

God dammit Undeadguy, you made me read a reddit thread ;)

Oh trust me, I hate it too. I felt like I was digging through the run off from a pig farm in the middle of summer. I'll have to run a virus scan and anti-malware while I go shower...

So glad I made it out of that place when I did. We've got our share of problems here, but that sub...

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and inanity.

And yeah, just to re-stake my position here: this is a joke, a troll, or a lie for internet points. The lifeboat thing strains credibility, but the squadron point thing is not even worth dignifying with serious discussion.

I dunno, a 100 point mini game on a 3x3 you can completed in an hour sounds exactly like what Armada OP has been trying to find...

Reddit makes me happy:

Probably that combined with Relay they make every competitive list almost identical and force each game into a boring slog where neither side really wants to engage the other?

I have some very strong feeling on this :|

That **** is cancerous....flotilla's are becoming a bit of a problem when guys can cram in two to three or four and basically make it so your ISD or MC80 is almost guarenteed to be caught with it's pants down. Throw in relay and you're almost surely not going to be threatened....it's a gimmick that could use a nurf bat, I also think the lifeboat BS needs to stop as well.

I mean I get it, they are "a representation of a bunch of transports" but I wasn't thrilled when they became the most cost effective at pushing squadrons than actual carriers.

I think it's worth a look at.

I've wanted to do this with Risk and Stratigo for years. No-one seems to have the twenty years required to pull it off, though.

I've got an all-flotilla list I keep wanting to run. Interdictor flagship with G-8 and Ozzel, 3x Gozani Assault with Flight Commander, BCC and EHB, and 14 T/B.

No idea how well it would run, but it sounds like great fun. Maybe swap something out, and take Grand Moff Token instead, for even more fighter activations.

Holy ****. Mind blown. Btw, offtopic but if you havent yet give stratego legends a shot its pretty fun.

Haven't. I did pick up Stratego Waterloo, and it's good times.

Heh. If I could get players interested and sufficiently invested, I'd create a campaign where you switched between Armada and Imperial Assault. For Corellian Conflict, as an example, you'd attack on the galactic map, then you could attempt to get additional VPs or special abilities by winning the IA match as well.

Basically like Star Wars: Queen's Gambit, which was a great game even though it was based on Episode 1...?

I appended a slightly snarky comment to one of the questions I sent in Januaryish, asking whether we could expect to see the FAQ more than 2 weeks before Worlds this time around.

I thought I was being hyperbolic at the time.

is that tarkin being domestic?

That's Mrs. Tarkin asking him why he stayed late at the Death Star again tonight for the fourth time this week. Dinner is cold, and the children are already asleep.
