Playing Rebellion conflicts in Armada wouldn't be fun. Almost all Rebellion battles are lop-sided. Love me some Rebellion though, it's my favorite game and the upcoming expansion "fixes" every issue I had with it.

100% agreed. But look at the shopping list of previous posters: a map, planetary control/conquest mechanics, logistics, even an SSD.

My (implied) point was that the more weight and complexity you lend to "campaign" elements, the more you veer towards completely uneven battles, which can be fun to play for 2 minutes - not 2 hours . CC can snowball badly enough as it is.
