Draxtar is hosting a casual day of armada gaming this Saturday starting at 1:00.
There wen't be a tournament, but if you'd like to prep for the next big event I'm sure there will be like-minded gamers there. If you'd like a casual game or two or want to test out a fleet this is a great event to attend. You don't have to commit to a set number of games or come at the start time. If you can only come at 3:00 and have time for just one game that is completely fine.
Also, the store opens at noon and I'm sure they'd be fine if you came then and started at that time.
Here is the link to their website.
