I'm hopeful for the 29th but for that to happen it has to switch to shipping now in the next couple of days AND a lot of stuff needs to go well.
From my previous experience, however, the "upcoming" tab isn't always the best indicator of where the stuff actually IS. For all we know the wave is already sitting in distribution and they are just waiting for FFG release date. Also it sometimes happens that they don't update the tab...
Edited by HastatiorWave VI is not off the boat yet?!!
Inconceivable!!
Btw, I'm quite happy that the Runewars Miniature Game is categorized as a Board & Card Game, rather than a Miniatures Game, but if it's called Runewars Miniature Game, shouldn't it be considered a Miniature Game, seeing as the title of the game - Runewars Miniature Game - says it's a Miniature Game?
Categorization is often tied to IP licensing, as is the case with most (all?) of FFG's Star Wars games. I'm unsure if it's still the case, but FFG did not have the license for Star Wars BOARD games. Legally, Armada, X-Wing, Imperial Assault, and possibly Rebellion, fall into a "miniatures" game category, allowing FFG to publish them. It's possible they needed an exception (from WoTC?) for Rebellion.
FFG obviously has some license for Star Wars CARD games (Star Wars The Card Game, and possibly Destiny legally fall into this category).
Who knows how this impact Runewars and whatever is left of FFG's agreement with Games Workshop.
FFG owns Runewars completely.
As for shipping now, the Armada Maneuver tool just came of the boat and went shipping now and I'm pretty sure they shipped after wave 6. This tells me there is artificial release date shenanigans going on and the stuff is likely at FFG HQ.
Whenever they finally release it, one thing is certain-i'll be caught with my guard down, like always
my guess is they are waiting to its reached all the major shipping locations before they release it, the maneuver tools and dice are just a reprint they can be sent when they arrive
I am hearing scuttlebutt of a 22nd release date. No clue how good that information actually is.

I would be pleased with this, but that's rather hasty for no update on the shipping status just yet.
I know my FLGS was told they'd be out sometime in June and to my knowledge that hasn't been changed. I just assumed the 29th, but I'd much rather the 22nd.
Like I said, no clue how good it is. It's coming to me from a reliable source... but the steps it takes to get there is still just a step up from "My Uncle That Works At Nintendo" levels of verification.

Wait, your uncle also works at Nintendo? That's so crazy, mine does too! Does he know Steve....Computerdesk? That's my totally real Uncle. It's a family name, it's weird like that.

If it changed over tomorrow to be "Shipping Now", it would be the first time in the Record I've found that Thursday-to-Thursday is counted as "2 Weeks".
If it changed over tomorrow and was backdated to today, then that would be Wednesday to Thursday passing, and would equal the shortest "2 week" I have on record - and that record I recorded in IA as anomalous. Its happened a few times from Tuesday to Thursday passing - but only once Wednesday, and never Thursday to Thursday...
Not saying its not possible (and I sincerely desire it, as it would shake up Hothgary Store champs on the 25th if it did), but it would be virtually unprecedented.
Wasn't the speed of the Liberty/ Interdictor announcement to release pretty unprecedented? Could happen... I'm hopeful!
(so i can tear open the packets, discard the ships and tokens to immediately read the quad battery turrets card..)

Edited by GinkapoJust got some bad news about this one. I hope it's not true, but don't expect this wave in June. Sorry.
My source is quite good.
That doesn't sound good. How is it that every other game makes their release date, but Armada is always lagging behind? Maybe I'm wrong about this, but that is the way it seems to me. I really hope that what's @Hastatior heard is wrong. I needz me some new plastic space ships!

Cool stuff changed their projection over to July a few days ago. Although that could be wrong, I suspect they at least know that ffg wont pull it off by months end.
SHAZBOT!!!!!!!!
Lets just say that early July would be "optimistic"
Maybe we'll get a wave Sixven...

Maybe they accdentally packages 1 HH and 2 quasar at a time
Wave 6 SHOULD have been in stores next week, but now that seems impossible. Probably 1st week of July perhaps?

Because FFG doesn't like you.

I don't like you either.
You'd better watch yourself. I've had FFG deliver to me late for at least ten waves now, with a number of different games.
