...But I already feel a disturbance in the Force of my paycheck

To be honest, though, this sounds like Star Wars 40K. I don't play 40K, so I don't know if that's good, but- I'm still interested.

Yeah this has a lot more in common with 40k along some lines than other FFG SW-licensed games. On the other hand, it will have familiar FFG features like upgrade cards and use special dice.

Yay for more dice! Then FFG can do one of their favorite things: sell you half the number of dice you need so you'll just have to buy a dice pack...

But seriously though, I love the different kinds of dice in Armada and IA. It really makes the game more interesting than if we just used standard 6-sided dice.

Just buy two core sets to have plenty of dice and two measurement tools
