Great article! Up to now the Hammerhead has not stirred much interest from my side. Your article made me think. Thank you!

Sounds like fun!

Gonna post this here because I don't think it exactly deserves a new post...

If you check post count for the various forums on here, Armada is at a quarter million posts. More than any other forum cluster except X-Wing (at over 1 million).

Keep posting!

Hello. I liked your article, but there's a couple of what I can only call typos in it that I feel compelled to point out:

In the commanders section you refer to the title as Garel's Haven
Immediately before the image of the Torpedo Corvette Card, you have the parenthesis '(note: I do not count the ' - this is never closed.
In the Officers segment, you refer to Hondo as Hando
In the Ruthless Strategist Flak build, you say 'and supports your other Scouts shots:' - I assume the s in Scouts should be 's?

. . . obviously these are minor, and excepting the 2nd one everybody gets your meaning, but I figured if I was pointing 1 out, I might as well point them all out. . . my apologies if it annoyed you.

I assume the parenthesis referred to the GR-75 Transport?

Also, about the Garel's Honor triple-tap. The only way face-up cards are dealt is if Garel does the ramming, so when you say Garel flies into the ISD, then dies from said ISD, then activates and rams, I assume this is over the course of 2 turns?

I've been subbing in a pair of Torpedo variants with External Racks and Boarding Engineers to trail my MC30 or MC80L. Where I can fit it in I have Garold Honor.

My thinking is that it gives me two extra shots after my last-first activation round and can either hit them with black dice, flip damage that the MC80L or MC30 dropped, or ram as the case needs.

Yeah, it's not even a first/last, but more of a last/last with Rieekan help.

Late in a turn: Move in to position, crash the ISD.

Early next turn: ISD opens fire, kills Hammerhead. Rieekan keeps Hammerhead alive. ISD forced to ram Hammerhead, keeping it trapped where your other ships can flank it.

Later that same turn: Hammerhead activates, opens fire, rams ISD.

I'm still not feeling the Hammerheads. I probably need to get beat up by a few first. I just don't get the ram list play style, even if I've watched some tournaments first hand where the 90B spam worked. Honestly the flak builds are the only thing that really peak my interests.

I'm probably more interested in getting the Quasar to work for me as far as Wave 6 goes.

An interesting observation. The most popular search term that resulted in clicks on the blog last month was...

"agent kallus x minister tua fanfiction"

@Truthiness, @shmitty... I am not quite sure what we did, but it's working?

"Agent Kallus's terrible facial hair attracted her.... and she couldn't tell why!"

Couldn't be any worse than 50 shades of grey!

Just because you're butting up against a law of the universe doesn't mean it's a good thing.

I know a thing or two about attracting women with my ridiculous facial hair. Maybe I should get writing?
