As some might know, I have a german Armada blog (called Admiral Darth Veggie). However, because of an interview with pt106 there had been two articles in English. Now, I have restructered the blog so that there is a (quite short) english section. In order to boost the english section I tanslated an article I wrote some weeks ago - it was the article that generated the most buzz of all articles I have written up to now and the article I consider to be my masterpiece :-)

The article wants to convince people to start playing armada. So, it presents 3 irrefutable reasons for getting started.

As always, please excuse my terrible non-flawless English. The three reasons you can find here:

Authentic, hilarious, and to the point. Thank DV!

By the way, those squads and bases look awesome.

I think I can boil it down to: MOAH STAR DESTROYERS!!!

Well, the thread title certainly disappoint. And don't apologize for your English, it's better than quite a few American speakers of the language.

Seconded. I'm an American at a relatively good university, and I doubt most of my compatriots are that fluent in English, let alone a second language. (My Russian definitely is nowhere near that good.)

That is also a fantastic article beautifully summarizing Armada's glory, and your interview is a testament to your abilities as a writer and researcher.

Hm, let's see whether I can get it into any English article I write in the future ;-)

Sorry, that was a bit of stupid fishing for compliments on my side. However, I am aware of the fact that there must be some mistakes in and a lot of germanisms. Edited the original post in order that we can all focus on the important stuff: the three irrefutable reasons ;-)

@CaribbeanNinja: The pictures lie! I used some fast painting techniques I found on boardgamegeek. Looks nice from some distance and on mediocre images. But not as good as the real stuff the people regularily post in the painting and modification section.

@Darth Veggie Your "non-flawless" English is far better (and more enjoyable to read) than the overwhelming majority of people's I went to school with and I'm American. Hell, after re-reading my post your English is better than mine. Excellent articles.

Can't deny that he makes an excellent argument. I mean, two Star Destroyers? Nobody argues against two Star Destroyers and comes out of it in good shape.

I guess you could argue that Admiral Raddus did but the entire crew of his main argument died so that's not "good shape" in my books.

This is absolutely glorious- though of course, your argument is worth 6000 words, so those who're praising your brevity have forgotten their english idioms...

Ok, I have striken out everything. However, I am pretty sure my next peer reviewer will not agree with you.

And man, it took so long to write these 6000 words down! ;-)

Your English is fine, and this comes from a native Spanish speaker, with a German wife, so I know a bit about second languages.

As for your argument.....Admiral Wolf approves. Well done.
