with two side arcs theres going to be a few rules for its base .... so why wouldnt movement be included?

ie its on two large bases so perhaps it uses the 'front of the rear base' for speed, manoeuvring and deployment?

I am thinking VSD movement at best. With a ship that big that's about all you get really. Swinging that large back around is going to hit small children and cars in the parking lot every time...

I'm thinking speed one, one click.

Unless they change the test cards they show here you will likely be wrong BUT they could do something interesting. They could make different versions have different speeds

And at speed two?

I would agree

what do you think about the officer inbetween tge emperor and piett officers?

It looks like starting with a g so my guess is on gallius rax

I am 99% sure that’s a new Darth Vader officer. Not only does that look like his name, but it appears to be a pic of him choking Motti.

I'm betting there is no speed 2.

I will take that bet. Unless FFG is changing the test card I will enjoy this win

If it had new dice wouldn't that be in the components spread?

Yup which when I woke up this morning I checked the pictures on a brighter setting. I think I am wrong and what I called red dice are black. Which is odd but since those go after the blue dice but this is a FFG test card so I 100% think I will be wrong with the dice prediction

I guess it was saw for someone else but in my local group someone notice about a second notch on the rear base piece. That should allow to navigate it more easily.

Would make sense to me. Baby got back! This thing would be crazy to move from the front notch. Small children would get hit every time you try a Nav token and dial speed 2 double click turn

IF, if it's speed two, then I see at two, no click at one, one at two. That thing is far too big to turn any faster.

Hey hey! Now we just need a Vader defensive retrofit, Vader ordinance, Vader ion, and Vader turbolaser upgrade before you can run a Full Vader ISD!

If it moves from the rear notch it is going to eat up real estate at a rapid pace. Very easy to fly it off the table....

So a VSD

If speed two, I'd think so.

So what you are saying is that it will take skill to fly

Well FFG jumped the shark. Yep, Armada is dying. Too bad, it was a good game. And as I said the model looks sad for its scale. Was looking forward to playing this fall but now I’m looking at my X-Wing wondering if second edition will make it fun again. Because this piece of crap is going to ruin the balance of the game and my enjoyment. Just lame.

Everything takes skill to fly well. But yes.

What is with British Admirals of history and foreshadowing the end of Armada? First Nelson, now Beatty, I swear if Cunningham shows up I’m table flipping.

Or you could wait half a year until you know what the heck it does, how big it looks in person and how it actually plays...

That was never an option for those who already want to quit.

Lack of patience in a game about patience. I doubt they ever enjoyed the game.

I don't know the last one but the name seems so familiar... @Beattyhas done this before I believe before the CC expansion. The games do come far and few between but a dying game... Ehhh more like in hibernation

The last time I remember them posting anything they were ranting about how there would never be an SSD.
