Is there a regular group that meets up in the KC area for armada?

I haven’t gotten a game in besides vassal in ages.

there's a facebook group. I'm STL based but they seem to have tournaments pretty regularly at those two stores and both (seem) to host store championships with game cafe hosting regionals as well. Type "KC star wars Armada" into the facebooks and you should find it.

is there an article for the store champs kit?

Nothing has been announced yet

A store near me (The Games Keep in PA) is having a championship on June 9. I guess they are going forward with it despite not knowing if they will have their kit by then.

I had not seen that posted anywhere. Has the store confirmed it?

The store doesn't seem to have an official website, but I can call them to find out. I saw the event posted on this Facebook group (which is my local Armada/X-Wing/IA/Legion group, not the store's Facebook group).

Let me know what you find out.

Most stores announce well before kit is announced.

If it means anything, Syracuse NY had a store schedule and then postpone their X Wing SC this weekend.

Nothing from FFG for other games as well.

I called the store, and the guy I talked to said there is no Armada championship on the event schedule. I don't know what to think now.

FFG "will" put out a list of stores that are allowed to have a championship in the future assuming this is like past years. from there I usually contact those stores to try to find out when. last year someone had an ongoing thread with all of them listed out on the front page that was super helpful, but I'm not sure if that'll happen again( who am i kidding, if that person doesn't do it again i will).

Allowed? No.

ALL stores in good standing CAN hold a store champs.

If it goes as per previous years - FFG will post a list of stores who actually ORDER the kit.

Ah, gotcha, I wasn't sure how restrictive it was.

Not that it matters terribly, no store championships are happening, there's no future for SWA, only the void ;)

No q1 and no sc in Ireland announced yet

They’re not listed as an FFG distributor in their 3 locations (Belgium, Italy, France).

this leads me to believe, offhand, that they are reselling kits. Which is bad.

of course they may have been bought and are now renamed an Asmodee and just not updated, at which point, it would be legal as long as they are not selling to the public.

the kits have to be available at some stage.

well the x-wing one has been leaked....

Heard the SC kits have hard plastic chimera/profundity alt art, acrylic brace and alt art HH torp corevette. No rulers.

My FLGS has told me the store champ kits are shipping, so something will be happening soon.

If it includes brace that's interesting as they have been an individual prize before (not that I got any) where as redirects haven't, I really hope they don't change the design as for any player that doesn't attend events higher than regionals its going to take years to have a set.
