I got bogged down in negativity and then saw a forum thread where a bunch of people shared how much fun they had with armada.. awesome thread! I love reading things like this! It inspires me to go out and find some armada related project.. fleet build.. table design.. storage solution.. ship painting.. whatever!

Pensively staring at Mel Minatures' store after a vague warning about "something" happening to FUD squadrons soon, wondering what else I should buy after putting in an order for some specialty squads we're not likely to ever see from FFG.

The core of this game keeps me coming back, no matter where the balance sits.

12 man campaign?! Is it possible to learn this power?

We *sort of* just doubled the CC rules. Had to make a couple modifications, the most obvious of which is to use two maps, but a couple other tweaks for declaring assaults and the like. The final assault split between two tables, each doing a 3v3, which then gets combined with the leftovers.

As great as it was, I'm just happy I can get some games in with different lists that don't have a lasting impact. It was fun, but I'm campaigned out for a while.

I had fun trying to work out a 2xVSD build

Come on, how was it? As glorious as I imagine?

It's glorious. Every time. This time the E-wings got to Yavaris. A Lancer hounded a wounded Gladiator. VCXs swept enemy mines into enemy ships.

Few can handle the glory of wave 5 squads.

Next up: Phantoms.

Nothing is more glorious than flinging a transport into your own mines and blowing up 4 to prevent them being tractor beamed into your MC80

SO....MANY.....JOKES

But really I try not to bring my lusts out in public. Our game nights just aren't that casual...

I really should stop typing on my phone.

Wow. That was worth a good laugh.

How dare you all having fun with Armada!?! Shame on all of you, haven't you heard the game is dead? You are having fun wrong!

Sorry, cannot rant any more today, gotta run: Got myself sone shiny new fighters and those squadrons don't paint themselves! Painting is much more fun than grumbling!

I Played a game against the other player in my area (That I have time to play against) and got a five red dies shot with a CR-90 onto the rear of a victory. And survived an ISD front arc with a pelta (But that's probably because he hasn't gotten a firm grasp on the rules yet, and got confused about attack timing) All in all, an slightly annoying (B/c he doesn't understand the rules and is a rules lawyer) but ultimately fun experience.

Yesterday I played a newbie with Brickhaus chiming in occasionally. Lost but had a lot of fun. Tried a tricked out Liberty.

I had fun with armada today by creating some new fleets in armada warlords. Looking forward to playing this awesome game on Friday.

I had fun today writing about the surprising amount of Imperial content that has come to Armada from Star Wars: Rebels.

I played a mostly outdated match of 2 Vics and 2 Glads against some Rebel small fry.

My poor opponent shouldn't have let his MC30 into the forward arc of Screed's Vic-1....

I started reorganizing my Armada shelves to make room for the ships of Wave VI.

We had 3 new guys show up for our weekly game night, with fun matches all around. And next week we'll get to do our final battle for our CC campaign.

I really dig the mixed flotillas and alt model ships. I find the more rag-tag my rebel fleet looks, the happier I am.

I played Admiral Sloane as a test in a friendly game.

I think she is going to be a big deal. Potentially meta destroying.

I will have fun with Armada later today. Our weekly Armada group including @SmurfWedge @TheCallum @Lord Preyer are getting together and we are trying out some bonkers anti-meta tech.

I second this.

Any day playing Armada is a good day. Anti-Meta and Pro-Fun.

The only time I run ultra competitive lists is when I head to a tournament....and even then I have never taken a same list to a tournament. For me personally half the fun is list building, throwing out ships and finding new synergy.

Bring on the new wave!!

I had my first Vassal Summer Tournament match against @JJs Juggernaut. Was excited to play against someone so experienced in the game as a new player. One HUGE positive was using voice chat for communication which made the game 1000 times faster and it was a good time chatting with JJ during the match. He did end up with the victory, but I was happy with how I played the game and look forward to playing against others during this tournament.

Pod racing Mc30s

Cool pic!

Are some of those ships invisible?

Me approves of the Mk1.

Is that a Marauder corvette behind the ISD?
