Wave 6!

By CaribbeanNinja, in Star Wars: Armada

I like what they've done with my Princess General

Spread Sloane says Swarm instead of Rogue.

So, now the question is, which one is right?

Almost certainly the FFG card image, rather than the spread.

Somebody do an Enhance!™ on Leia's card, please.

TLDR: if a ship resolves only a single command in its activation, it may count as resolving it with dial + token. 38 point admiral.

Pretty awesome for a fleet of lots of Command 1 ships.

I like the two ship wave.

interesting that the hammerheads come in a two pack. Wonder if the upgrades will play play to the fact that they run in pairs.

"When A friendly ship resolves a command by spending a command dial, if it has not resolved another command this round, it may resolve that command as if it spent a matching command tokenif it does, that ship cannot resolve additional commands this round"....... I think

Does command here mean one of the 4, or any command action other than the dial? For example, if I reveal an engineering dial and spend both it and a token, does that trigger Leia, effectively causing me to spend 1 dial and 2 tokens, or does the token prevent Leia's ability?

Looks like there's one called Task Force that is a likely candidate.

Perhaps, what's interesting is they have 3 titles, only one of which is unique.

The fact that there's a pair of hammerheads in that pack either bodes wonderfully for their cost, or terribly for their endurance. Either way, as a fan of MSU lists, I'm very happy.

As someone who plays very light with squadrons though... nah Quasar Fire is still doing it for me. Time to up my Defender count, methinks. I've been playing without any squadrons for too long now.

If I'm reading it right, you'd either spend the dial, activate Leia, and not be able to use the token, or spend the dial and the token and not be able to activate Leia

Yo the Grael's Honor, External Racks, ordinance experts, and Dodonna? Thats...thats mean. On the down side they have minimal shields, no side/back arcs, no brace by the looks of it, and only 5 Hull. So the question is, how much do they cost?

And another Medium Base Ship for the Imps! Love it! Better get some practice with Konstantine

5 hull, shields a 2-1-1, with Contain, Redirect, and Evade.

QUASAR.... HAS A RED ANTI SQUADRON DIE?????

Red anti squadron on the base cardboard for the Quasar Fire.....

Sloane OP as frick.

Does spending a token with Sloan still give the defender the token's effect? I'm guessing not.

No.

It happens before the Defender spends defense tokens.

BUT< the powerful thing about Spend?

If its Green, it goes Red.

If its Red, it goes DEAD.....

This aint your "Exhaust" mechanic.

This is SPEND .

it looks like the quasar has a red AA die (on the one in the picture, not the card shown)

So... an Avenger ISD (likely ISD-I, ISD-II wants the Gunnery Team) with Boarding Troopers. This is going to be a thing.

Hey Crabbok, should we go tease the X-Wing forum that Armada looks to be getting Hondo before them?

Tie fighters. Reppin' it old school, Sloan.

If you use Leia's ability with Squadron, you can't later use a Nav token to change speeds.

Well... Here's the squadron play needle swinging back to the Imps. Kallus on Quasar.

Dude.

Its spend

Put this on Victories, too.

Because if they've already spent their Tokens to Exhausted, this card will DISCARD them.

RIGHT?!

Is the Quasar a small or medium ship?
