Mine had 66mhz, but still that 486 with a 14 (13?) inch monitor. Best years of my childhood there.

Had same PC but 13" monitor. In Poland at that time it was big luxury. My father smuglet this PC from UK in parts to avoid high taxes. Funniest situation was with monitor. When guy on the border look on it he was thinking that this is TV for people from Bus.

God this was the best gift that I and and my brother ever got from him in those post communist times of robbery in Poland.

Wait didnt it take X-Wing 260 pages in their Assualt gunboat topic to get it?

Thinking of having Mel ship me a strike cruiser and an MC40 and making them both AF2s. Hate that model.... having those two ships combined with my Escort Carrier quasar would make me quite happy for playing tabletop TIE fighter.

I personally love the Strike Cruiser, its one of my favortie craft... not only because of TIE-Fighter but even more because Star Wars: Rebellion (PC-Game).

I think its the perfect idea for a mass-produced cruiser for the empire.

I'm sure this has been covered before but is there a reason x wing seems to get much more frequent waves than armada?

Yeah x wing is a more popular game with a larger fan base and a cheaper entry price

And the mechanics of the game make it much easier to design stuff.

Hi guys n' gals,

I just stopped by to approve all these posts about bringing our Lord Saviour Gunboat to Armada. :D

Wouldn't it be cool if we had some sort of 'reinforcement' mechanic for Armada, where you could bring in hyperspace capable craft by 'sacrificing' some of your VPs etc.?

:D:D:D

More like a new fighter update:

Hold back a number of squadrons (not TIE-Fighters, TIE-Interceptors or TIE-Bombers) and place them anywhere on the board but not in close distance to any ship or station from turn 3 on.
5 points / 2 points per squadron

Wouldnt mind a Venator to be released as a duel faction ship with Arc-170s and V-Wings..... in the pack!

Would then leave the U-Wing, K-Wing and maybe Stolen Tie Fighters would work.... for Rebel Fighters III, the K-Wing would be enough with the B-Wing and Y-Wing as bombers, as the K-Wing would provide other benefits I would think too....

Empire could then get Tie Punishers, Assault Gunboats, and Skipray Blastboats, boosting the Empire's heavy ordinance to what it should be....

We still need U-Wings, which are appearing in Rebels now. Those are mostly seen zipping around in space so they'd work. Tie Strikers are even space capable.

How about:

  • U-Wing
  • K-Wing
  • TIE Striker
  • Assault Gunboat*

(*Although it's more likely to be the TIE Punisher, despite how ugly it is, given the K-Wing)

Personally, Id rather have the Punisher than the Gunboat!

Yeah! DScipio's got it!

Although, this would probably make more sense in a Campaign based setting. :)

Ok, ok, ok! I'll admit it, alright???

I just want the opportunity to say something like:

"5 Assault Gunboats from FG Rho entering area at 3 km!" and then hum the Imperial Reinforcements tune! :D:D:D
