If we do get one soon, it's got to be MC75 and Venator. Both ships have appeared in actual star wars movies, and fill the spots both Rebels and Imperials need. Another Medium ship for Rebels, and another Large ship for imperials.

I hope its a 4 ship wave. We're overdue for one!

Rebels (like most people)

MC-75

Braha-Tok Gunship (flotilla)

Imperials - I hope...

Dreadnought Star Cruiser (i swear FFG, if you release these i will buy at least 6, to make Garm Bel Iblis's fleet, and Thrawn's first fleet {Legends})

Venator

There's enough Legends stuff for Imps to continue releasing new ships..i think new variants should be released in repaint packs like X-wing, with lots of new cards and titles to make them equal with the new stuff.

I would like to see an old republic wave for the imps venerator and aclimator. And rebs should get mc 75 and af mk1. I think it would be kinda neat to have the game kind of accept that antiquated ship would probably still be in use long after a repacement arrives, for the imperials that is. I mean its a big galaxy and you have to more heavily defend some world than others. Also replacing a war time nave that boomed in size with new ships in peacetime, is exspensive and hard to justify in peacetime ( with war level of production). I mean look at the us navy alot of our naval ships are realitivly old in comparison. Personally, i think it would be cool but im not gonna hold my breath.

I've still got unconfirmed rumours waiting in the edges, too. Mostly, I want to see if any of them pan out... it'd help in assessing credibility of my sources going foward.

May your source bring you know surprises. On one hand, who needs rumours, on the other hand, the vocal disappointed folks will be here regardless. Third hand Darthain also has a source? who knows.

Aaargh the unslayable beast of double post.

I'd say MC75 and Acclamator.

You know... a possibility also exists that they will announce that they are canceling all future Armada development to focus on Runewars.

Im not saying it's a good possibility, but it could rune our day tomorrow if it did happen.

I like the cut of your jib sir, and admire the ball-cockpits it takes to throw down a pun here, but to help you up your game:

New squads for each side, that is all. What do I win?

Most kind. On the one hand, I could use some help with my pun mastery. On the other hand, you have different fingers.

What I'm hoping for:

Super Star Destroyer with cards to play as both Imperial and Rebel (captured).

Cardboard campaign expansion featuring new titles and commanders for all Wave 0-2 ships

MC75

Resurgence-class Star Destroyer

-edit- In that exact order.

With FFG announcing TI4, Fallout, releasing the latest Imperial Assault add-on and pushing the 5 rings game plus fresh rumours of a new epic ground based SW game, it's distinctly possible there will be no new Armada or XW releases. I will be disappointed if that's the case though.

Are there any serious rumors for the ground game or just the same old guesses that people have had for the past few years? I mean I'd love to see it but just curious if there is some actual rumors there. I still think we will get armada and X-wing news since that is pretty much a tradition at this point. The only star wars miniatures game to not get something new would probably be Imperial Assault but they still might announce some new ally and villain packs.

Its less rumour and more the product description, code and price was leaked by the Distributor in an official email to an LGS. Part of their "Things to order!" notice.

So its happening, we just don't have much more than the description. (Which you can find in the appropriate Armada Off-Topic Thread)

Venator and Providence class, republic fighter pack 1 separatist fighter pack 1

Double cargo ship / freighter pack with extra convoy attack and defence missions.

Nothing "rumor" about it. It was accidentally leaked early through FFG/Asmodee's US distributor emailing stores across the country yesterday with all the details (including a description, product code and price) necessary to order it.

More realistically:

Resurgent-class Battlecruiser

MC-75

MC-75

Braha'tok flotilla

Venator

SHIELD GATE! (Or an imperial gunship flotilla)

If they announce anything for Armada today....

ISD - Thrawn

MC-75 Raddus

Both with upgrade cards in some form that allow them to dock a single small ship.

Providence Class - Rebels

Finalizer - Empire

More a hope/wish

Empire - Skipray blast boat

Rebels - do not care.

Ugh. Docking ships and squadrons sounds thematic but Rapid Launch Bays demonstrates that it doesn't really add anything to the game and is prone to leading to lots of confusion.

Dual Faction:

• Dreadnaught heavy cruiser
• Neutron Star Bulk Cruiser

What time (US) is the announcement and what time is that in the UK?

Here are my not so wild predictions:-

Rebels - The other Admiral Fish Face's ship

Imperials - Its big, its pointy and no, its not a Venator

I'll be back here once it's official.

It's at 16:00 in the UK if I'm not wrong, if I am... well then we are both missing it....
