Seriously what is up with Wave 7?

That's fine, but my point is that for a marquee series of tournaments it shouldn't be a treasure hunt to locate the page. It should, at minimum, be stickied in every Armada forum/subforum so it's impossible to miss.

They’ve never done that.

ever.

why bother now, when, as far as they are concerned, it gets mentioned on the forums and they have a search option...

Their point of view, anyway.

From all indications, their pool of employees is ever shrinking and over working ...

Solutions that involve less actual work are, by default, preferred solutions for them.

I'm hopeful as well. That was about when last year's Q4 Armada dropped in stores. I didn't get it until after Christmas, but that was my fault for preordering online.

I may just try preordering locally this time, as it will force me to make the trip up to my FLGS, and at that point I may as well get a game or two in!

Their life motto is the same as mine then.

I have to agree with you Crabbok. Even some say it has been updated to the printer in some foreign countries we will not see this wave released before 2018.

I believe that Legion was to blame for this delay. They wanted to get this new game out before Christmas. And also I think they still are play testing MC75.

This is why we don’t get any more info on this ship.

We will see a slow down in release in the future, not because they don’t have new ships they can release, but because it gets more and more difficult to keep this game balanced. They want to be sure that when they release a new ship it won’t be exploited and some one find an unbeatable combo.

Legion is not coming it before Christmas

The incorrectly scaled Legion game is taking priority. That's a ton of plastic. No wonder there's no room at the inn.

Incorrectly scaled?

O that's right haha. When they made ia that meant they were regulated to that scale only forever. Thanks for the reminder of that point dras :b

Hey, I'm just the messenger of discontent here... Personally, I couldn't care less about it.

...

Well, I could care less.

But caring less would involve being distracted by something else.

And as eveyrone knows, there hasn't been a good discussion distraction on the Armada forums for 2 months now.

Or Beer.

Heck, a decent beer would probably have me caring less, too.

But that aint happening.

I just had a beer. A Danish one. Didn't help one bit.

Every time I am reminded you no longer have access to Aussie beer, I feel so very sad for you.

I rather suspect that nothing will come of me annoying the Twitter account enough that they responded with a "I'll ask and get back to you", but either way I expect to see something in the next couple of weeks assuming that the European pages are correct and they just forgot to update the English one.

Clearly you need to go longer between partakings to get the effect I'm currently under.

And there we have our answer, boys and girls. No Armada under the Christmas tree this year

Can we get an FAQ on what "early" means?

Ok, as an American I need to ask, what is Aussie beer, beyond that it's from Australia? I am fortunate enough to live in an area ripe with craft breweries. To date none of them have done an Aussie style beer, though you mentioned it with a bit of reverence. Can you describe it, or perhaps equate it to something similar?

The only other beers I have very little experience with are barely wines and sours.

No later than Q4

I'm squeezing them for more information now, though I suspect they won't want to give anything more detailed than what has already been said. Still, I wasn't actually expecting an answer in the first place, so who knows?

This is disappointing, not surprising, but disappointing. I'm shocked you actually got an answer. Maybe this is the way we need to get information frim them now.

No surprise there, but it still sucks.

FFG + Armada = Not excellent support

Personally, I miss a proper bitter lager, for one...

Another side of it is, basically, the ingredients here just simply taste different which lends a different edge to it... I think its the use of the prairie hops and wheat for the most part... But it could also be the much harder water that is used...

I miss even the cheap CUB stuff.

Hearing something, even if its not what you want, is better than hearing nothing... :)

If something looks like crap and smells like crap...it probably IS crap :D

Better to know where the Crap is, than to be smelling it and not seeing it.

Very disappointing that multiple people had to specifically ask on Twitter before we heard anything.
