Happy Thoughts

By TallGiraffe, in Star Wars: Armada

I got a team tournament this Sunday. I am excited to play and we got cross faction teams.

Your going down!

Got any good stuff happening? Share it.

i have a tournament next Saturday, i am going back to playing the rebels

Also on topic coinciding with the release of The Last Jedi me and my friend have taken a week off work and are going to have at least one 1200pts game.

This Sunday I'm attending a 200pt alt format that I am particularly excited for. Unfortunately I cannot attend the preceeding 400pt tournament on Saturday due to work. :(

With Armada in such a healthy game state, being able to fly whatever I want is also particularly pleasing.

I m selling my Armada stuff to buy some Legend of the 5 Rings crap...

Custom format, no commanders, 1 medium/small ship. No squadrons limit. 3x3 play area.

oh. uhmm. okay.

Got to play 2 good games of Armada tonight. Lost the first, won the second. Got an email saying my shapeways order has shipped. Have a four-day weekend next week and plenty of painting to do.

I have this crazy notion of trying to launch massive-point games out of my FLGS to see for myself how the game looks at high point levels.

Epic, is the word I would use to describe it. Especially if you have mainly large or medium bases.

They're actually super fun, our FLGS runs one approximately once a month

I'm sure they are, but I'm not sure 1 Cr90 and 150+ points of squadrons is my idea of fun. see what i mean?

Im running a Raider I and as many decimators as i can get my hands on :p. It's certainly not for everyday play, but they're fun for an occasional divergence and keep the game fresh.

It sounds like X-Wing epic but better cause it is in Armada. Though I would want to have the option of a second small ship if I take a small ship.

I kinda like the idea of a Nebulon and CR-90 or Hammerhead fighting out an Interdictor and escorting fighters.

If you like a more standard experience, try the Taskforce Armada format? Everything is standard. Commander required, squadron limit 1/3. etc.

Yea I get that. But I wasn't really mentioning the standard experience. I mean having just 150+ points of squadrons can be crazy sometimes. But it also sounds like it can be fun once in a while.

I got Classic Ben at the Tournament today.

It really was. Much lower stakes (not that the Armada community is generally obtuse by any means) but way more joking around and ridiculous lists.

Classic Ben broke my tournament.
