I'm not sure what the rules are. Is it as simple as adding 50 points every week or 2? What point level do you start with? End?

I honestly haven't heard of anyone doing this, but it sounds fun!

I've seen it done with GW games before. Its a great way of getting people into games

How many rounds to the league?

If you start with less than 300 pts it can be kinda hard to fit a large ship or a decent carrier/squad force combo.

So maybe 300/350/400 for a short league?

Or go on to 450/500`?

Or play the Correllian conflict?

Well this does bring up a dumb question I have. What is the average size game of Armada? Also for tournaments?

400points is tournament standard

A campaign for Armada. Comes with a map some new obstacles and new aces and objectives but no plastic. May be just what you're looking for.

My local game group did it a year or so ago and alternated between x-wing and armada. Which ever faction won at x-wing would determine who was player 1 or two with armada objectives. I didn't play x wing at the time so I don't recall the points exactly but I think they were 50 to 200 with armada starting at 200 and going to 500

I wonder if I could start out with Half the starter, then goto 200 and then on

That makes it difficult to add any of the big ships like ISDs and MC80s as the games escalate.

We have a tournament this weekend that is an escalation event. First round is 300 with no upgrades (commander still required ), then 400 points and finally 500 points. All ships and upgrades move on to the next round.

X-wing has an official escalation format of 4 rounds at 60, 90, 120, and 150 points.

There is no official escalation guidelines printed online for Armada.

The old kits suggested them (adding 100 points at a time) to the tournament maximum of 400 points.

The closest you get these days (in official parlance) is a Corellian Conflict style, where the initial build is 400 points, only One Upgrade per Ship, and then Jump to 500

But those serve as guidelines. Always interested to hear what Works (and what doesn't) for Armada. I'm generally dubious at the lower point marks, simply due to the way ships are balanced there. I'm always reluctant to stray from the 400 recommendation - but even I'll be running a major-prize-500 pointer later this year.
