Essential background information: I don't own Armada. With X-Wing, the LCG, IA, and Destiny I don't have time or money for Armada.... Sorry. ![]()
I borrowed a list from a friend to play in the Store Championship because it had been a while since I had played. We got in a practice game two days beforehand but other than that it had been well over a year since I played Armada. I just wanted to get some time in with the game again, meet new people, and have a good time.
My list was this: (my firend made it for me)
Empire:
Targeting Beacons
Fighter Ambush
Dangerous Territory
Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer
- Sloane
- Avenger
- Gunnery Team
- Electronic Countermeasures
- Leading shots
Quasar Fire II-Class Cruiser-Carrier
- Boarding Troopers
- Stronghold
Gladiator I-Class Star Destroyer
- Demolisher
- Assault Proton Torpedoes
Squadrons
- TIE Fighter x4
- TIE Interceptor x3
- "Howlrunner"
- Jumpmaster 500
400 points even.
A story in two parts:
I ended up going 3-0 and taking 1st place.
Which felt a little dirty since I didn't come up with the list myself and don't actually own the game. (I gave my regional bye to the guy who got 2nd and some other prizes to other players. I kept some which I'll be giving out via The Jodo Cast sometime.)
I had a lot of fun. All of the Armada players were super nice and laid back. Even though this game takes foooorreeever to play, the community was way more chill than X-Wing tends to be which was nice.
Big shout out to the Armada community in Tucson, AZ for running a great tournament and having a fun atmosphere.
