Is the round token face up? Or face down? Card does not specify.

Also, I really wish this card read "Discard this card for this ship to move last this turn."

For 7 points I think this card should have the flexibility of deciding when to be used (unless the token is face DOWN to prevent opponent from knowing which turn was selected).

Good point in faceup or facedown. Looks like another card that wont be usable until 10 months after its release, when the FAQ for it is finally released.

You, um, missed the point that the token is double sided, right? ?

wasnt this covered yesterday.... when I made the same comment about it being facedown... & it was pointed out then that they are double sided....

(ok it was 4 pages ago.... :p)

I like how a significant amount of the complaints about her involve "That's not how I would have done it."

In this case, I CAN tell you all to get good and win a Worlds and make your own card then!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find another fire I can go throw some gasoline on...

You mean Worlds, right?

That's totally what I originally said and not at all what I just edited it to say, of course!

What do you mean, evidence of my ineptitude? Darn it.....

I agree it should be Nationals*... not everyone can afford to fly to the states....

*the studio can just pick the best card from the nationals winners....

Win a Nationals outside of the States (and Canada) and FFG flies you there....

looks like I'd better get good.... oh and enter tournaments then :P

What can I say,

You left a dumpster going and I had a spare jerry can...

... What, I’m not a Pyromaniac.

-maniac implies compulsion.

I just like it.

So because Armada only gets stuff once a year, I see FFG has resorted to only spoiling 1 card at a time to get more Armada articles more frequently.

As one of the people who was actively b******* and complaining about a lack of attention from FFG I'd just like to express how happy this new system makes me. So far they've generated a s*** ton of discussion in this community by opting to slow drip the reveals for the next wave. I got at least part of what I asked for and I laud FFG for the improvement and hope that this trend continues.

Is there an actual reason for the delay?

I'm sure there is a reason. We're just not privy to what that reason is.

And that's totally reasonable. They're a business, and disclosing the reasons for the delay could very well put them at a competitive disadvantage.

What is not reasonable is to just pretend like there is no delay, which was very much what their strategy appeared to be for a couple of months there. I too very much applaud this apparent turnaround, and am very hopeful that it will continue.

I swear somewhere it said people would be getting it before the end of the year

Provided the nationals has sufficient players partaking....

(Its a stupid caveat)

FFG has altered the availability. Pray they don't alter it further...

The universally accepted Star Wars pecking order has been updated due to Legion, and Legion requires a lot of production assets (FFG and China) for it's initial release. FFG Star Wars Pecking order (highest priority to lowest):

  1. Legion
  2. Destiny
  3. X-Wing
  4. Imperial Assault
  5. Edge of the Empire (Star Wars RPG)
  6. Living Card Game
  7. Some other card game (can't keep track of them all
  8. Extra Wars dice for any of the above
  9. Rebellion
  10. Armada

:rolleyes:

Im not entirely convinced Legion is all to blame. I think getting the latest X-Wing wave out in time for the movie release and Christmas are just as much if not more to blame.

Legion doesn’t have to be painted - X-Wing does. Taking painters away from Armada production to push X-Wing would delay Armada significantly.

We also can’t forget that there is armada stuff on the printers because of the errata, that may be a reason for the delay

Production right before the holidays is expensive. If you push production back a few weeks, the cost plummets. I'll bet it isn't the production of Legion that pushed Armada back. It's the production of X-Wing for right before the holidays that mattered. Legion isn't due until after the holidays either.

I'll wager Legion and Armada stuff are on the same boat or very near.

Ahhhh.... OK..... Im gonna quickly go dig in the garage....

(Great way to get under-used tokens back in the game! Yaaaay!)

Yeah! Between that and Thrawn using extra dials, I like the trend of utilizing some of these components in new ways. I’d like to see more of that “rummaging around inside the box” thinking.

(Maybe an Ordinance slot upgrade that says your opponent must swallow a squadron ID token on a critical.)
